MrBob | The correct term is "crackers", not "hackers."
|
Actually both are correct, hacker only used to mean someone who was good with computers/writing code.
Then the popular media adopted the term to mean someone who breaks into computers, so the real hackers tried to distinguish themselves by calling the criminals crackers.
Some dictionaries now recognized both terms.
GamingSource | They didn't use programming skills - they used uploading skills.
|
The only question is wheither they wrote the PHP scripts themselves or someone else did, the author of the scripts is a Cracker/Hacker.
