Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! The problem with "hacking" these days is that most of what would traditionally be considered hacking is being done by big companies inserting code into your home and office machine to track what you're doing.
The irony is that this is called "adware" and "cookies" and other cutesy terms and not "Gross Violations of Privacy" and "Huge Security Risks", because it makes money for big companies.
If one looks at the majority of major "hacks" in the media over the last couple of years most of them have exploited the weak link in the computer security chain... people. Yup, in most cases they simply ASKED people for their passwords, or used corporate code like cookies and adware/spyware to gather more than just browsing information.
Face it, the biggest "hackers" today are the big corporations, and it is BIG money.
