Vigilante Hackers

Vigilante Hackers


I like to think that there are Good-Guy Vigilante Hackers in the internet community. They understand how those who hack into web sites, personal computers, and company or governmental intranet communities could destroy the whole system. Actually the internet system is already compromised in that its expansion is hampered and the expense associated with using it is partially associated with the justified paranoia of malicious hackers. A Good Guy knows that policing agencies may lack the power or sophistication required to locate, stop, and prosecute the bad guy hackers. So the Good Guy hacks the bad guys and brings down their machines or turns the bad guys in to policing agencies. I know that this is just a fantasy of mine, but since I thought of it, I know that there are other people that have had the same idea, and some of those people have the skills to be a Good Guy Vigilante Hacker. So, if you’re out there, doing your Super Hero thing and except for receiving personal satisfaction but no credit or compensation, I would like to say, “Thank You”.
