A general discussion about the Sony hack.

And. I have become confused on this issue.

Are there "good" hackers, and "bad" hackers?
And wouldnt the "good" hackers, eg the ones trying to stop the "bad" hackers, have had to be "bad" in the first place in order to learn how to hack?

Frightening! So many people use Wi-fi without knowing how easy it is to get into if you don't use up-to-date security - and keep it up-to-date. It is so convenient to have all your devices on Wi-fi - but without security it is like an unlocked door, with your valuables lying on the hall table.

As an aside. the video features No.1 son and each time his mum watches it, she says "I hope he doesn't fall off" . I say, he didn't fall off the first time you watched it, so he probably won't this time !
