Hackers Vs Crackers
Exactly, 8 months ago to this date I had a chance to visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, United States. The exhibition was one of the largest I have ever been to. It featured exhibits from multiple disciplines of Science and was lively, interactive and very well maintained. Even with a few stop-by’s it took us ~6 hours to cover it. I recommend a visit to the museum if you are in Chicago.
One of the exhibits that captured my interest was on computer criminals…
…the museum has used the opportunity to educate the public on the intricate difference between the words “Hackers” and “Crackers”. While, even to this date, many IT publications refer to computer criminals as hackers, I am happy to note that the exhibition has done its part to help to clarify the difference. The following tells it all, thanks msichicago
