The Silence of the Hacked. [thanks, Wired News] The seduction of the script kiddie:
"I was at a conference last year where they were showing a robot that painted graffiti on the sidewalk," [editorial director of SecurityFocus and former "hacker," Kevin] Poulsen said. "(The exhibitors) would grab passersby and give them a chance to try it -- and they found that more than half of these people who wouldn't otherwise do graffiti would write with this robot. That's because the effect of what they were doing was masked by the interface."
