It is ridiculous how the American media continues to develop the term hacker in a negative way, when it is not at all a negative thing.

One more reason to not trust the news media.
Here's a bit more...
Hacker Brad Willman embedded a Trojan in child porn images and planted them on sites frequented by pedophiles. Downloading the images gave Willman access to their PCs. He passed information he discovered to a group that tracks pedophiles, and Kline's made its way to California authorities

Ahhh... I see... Now that is a hack... I'd say he's more of a cracker, or likely a script kiddie, but I at least get it now. I just get mad when they act like anyone who does any thing wrong on the internet is a 1337 Haxor... I also hate it when they assume all hackers are black hat hackers.

I am not missing it... I know the point of the story, but I think there is also a second, important underlying point...
