I don't always know where the line is on whether something is a cybersecurity problem or not.

I published an episode recently about a credit card skimmer, and a lot of you complained and said that episode had nothing to do with cybersecurity.

And it made me wonder, okay, well, if it's not a cybersecurity problem, whose problem is it?

I mean, if you've got articles on Frack, a hacker magazine that shows you how to exploit a technology and compromise the integrity of it, then maybe that is a cybersecurity problem.

Oh, yeah, I told you about the Hacker Manifesto in one of the previous episodes.

One of the Legion of Doom members wrote it and published it first on Frack.

And I'll give you a short excerpt from it.

I'm reading from Frack here.

This is our world now, the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the bod.

We explore, and you call us criminals.

We seek after knowledge, and you call us criminals.

We exist forever.

without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias, and you call us criminals?

You build atomic bombs.

You wage wars.

You murder.

You cheat and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good.

Yet we're the criminals?

Yes, I am a criminal.

My crime is that of curiosity.
