Poachers Turned Gamekeepers and the Issue of Hacking as a Route to a Top Establishment Career
POSTSCRIPT 13th Nov 2106: Crime and hacking played a central role in Donald Trump winning the presidential race in the USA this month. Hacked emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign manager's computer were released by Wikileaks (here ). Others found through hacking were released into the public domain by Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who thinks they might effectively put Hillary Clinton in prison - something announced by many before the election. And that serious claim led to US President Trump and his followers to constantly proclaim "she's going to Jail' and 'lock her up'.
Today, we see the highly esteemed political and anti-hate crime activist Peter Tatchell calling for a pardon for the Australian hacker Julian Assange. . Assange is likely to come out of all this looking like a hero, a hacker role model. The telling question is: "Overall, is that a good thing, or a bad thing?" Whatever the case, policymakers are in a spin over the complexity of the hacker and leaker issue. Essentially the big question hinges on of the benefit of whistleblowing v criminal career hacking and those who profit off the "swag", both financially and professionally.
