Who would have ever thought a "Hacker Hall of Fame" would exist? I know I didn't. I was reading about the famous hackers in history, and I just think it's hilarious. Don't get me wrong, because these people are brilliant. But when I think about a most wanted list, I picture people with typical shady profiles... like a bald guy wearing a dark hooded sweater and sunglasses. When I looked at the Hacker Hall of Fame gallery, it's just funny that all pictures are people who I would never imagine to be a criminal.
I think it's also interesting that a good percentage of these criminal hackers end up working for security consulting firms and our federal government. In order to fight against hackers, we have to think like hackers. In other words, the only way to protect our private information from hackers is to use software that is created by the best hackers.
