In this article the word "hacker" is actually used in the original meaning - nothing to do with breaking into systems.



I didn't break into any system. I merely streamlined the gathering of restricted data that I was entitled to anyway through my work. Then I made graphical representations of those data for my own use, in order to do a better job. I figured, if this works for me, it would work for my collegues as well, but I wouldn't want to divulge how I did that for free, and certainly not by letting someone else take all the credit for it. And thus I became a "hacker"...


sorry, I re-read your original comment and now I'm not sure how I assumed it was about criminal hacking
