Hackers Condemn Arab Site Hack


Don't blame hackers for the attacks that recently took down Arab news network Al-Jazeera's website.

Technically the site was hacked. But hackers, who say they abhor breaking into systems for fun or profit -- as opposed to malicious crackers and the amateurs known as script kiddies -- believe shutting off access to information is distinctly un-hackerlike behavior.
