I remember at all times the great Kevin Mitnick, a mythical and great hacker in the story, a great hacker who marked an era demonstrating the great insecurities of the systems. I've been a fan of great computer characters, but they all made a story and they were not just Lamers or cracker who only wanted to steal money. It seems to me that times have changed and I do not understand the reasons why people in the current era are interested only in the acquisition of money.
Kevin Mitnick was a philosophy. These new hackers are just a group of idiots without ethics. every week or month they steal millions of dollars in bitcoin. only hurting thousands of people. stealing from people who are not at fault for their ambitions. I find the ambition for economic power absurd when in my country we suffer for simply eating, due to the government's objection to stealing money. I think these groups of "hackers" are wrong stealing innocent people, people like the CEO of binance, great people who have shown their honesty and I congratulate them for their work. If they want a challenge like "Hackers" they should try to remove a thief, people like those who govern Venezuela who have sunk, robbed, murdered and even swim in money unpunished, have billions of dollars in bitcoin. Why do not you do your business with these bad people? or maybe you are worse than them. I think the hacker ethic died and there are only fools with knowledge. What will life in the future with ignorance?

Do you think Kevin Mitnick was that different back in the day, before he got caught and went "clean"?
It was not very different. but in its beginnings I frame an era that changed the course of the informatics and forced to grow and improve the security systems, using the knowledge of hackers to improve systems that did not have any defenses. This is called white hat hackers who were interested in improving systems and not harming them. In addition to that the hacker ethic written in the hacker's bible explains a lot about the way of thinking of a hacker. I think that with the knowledge they have, they can do many good things. but they only think at the moment of stealing and doing harm.
