Recently I read some media articles and notes about a new portal that opened a few months ago:The Hacker’s List. The idea of the portal, as can be seen in the hacker’s projects section, is that anyone can request the services of a hacker. Current ‘jobs’ listed include “Facebook hack”, “hack website”, “Gmail password hack”, and “stealing software from a small company”, amongst others. It brings to mind the age-old question I’ve been asked plenty of times before: Would you hire a hacker?
Before I begin, I should make an obligatory reference to the ambiguity that represents the use of the word “hacker”. A big issue with The Hacker’s List is its loose definition of hacking, with not all the activities advertised framed within a legal or ethical scope, which makes it much more difficult to give a unique or complete answer.
Should you hire a hacker?
