Some of my students want to be hackers. While they want to be hackers, they tend to want to avoid becoming a cracker. However, they said becoming a cracker may be unavoidable.
HACKERS
According to statistics compiled by the Korea Information Security Agency (KISA), domestic hacking cases ballooned 165-fold over the past five years to 26,179 cases in 2003. Only 158 hacks were reported to the state-sponsored institute in 1998 but the figure reached a millennium plateau two years later with 1,943 cases and rocketed to 15,192 in 2002.
Hacking generally means gaining unauthorized access to computers or computerized systems through a "backdoor" program, installed on other computers by way of a network.
Installation of a firewall is the best way to keep hackers at bay and if users suspect or confirm the activities of a hacker, they should report such cases to KISA or other relevant authorities in order to prevent recurrence of the computer crime, said Cho Ki-heum, an official of AhnLab, Korea's leading computer security company.

to me this shows two things... How Koreans think that they are a law onto themselves.... and how, yes, there is creativity in this country, but isn't always what you would think it to be, or in its application. |
