[Oracle Chief Security Officer Mary Ann Davidson] claimed that the British are particularly good at hacking as they have “the perfect temperament to be hackers–technically skilled, slightly disrespectful of authority, and just a touch of criminal behavior.”
“Just a touch”? How sweet.
For the confused, that sort of hacking is not my sort. See “Why ‘Hacking For Christ’?” for details.
IMHO a cso of such an IT heavy weight shouldn`t use the phrase hacker when talking bout crackers…
I thought not knowing what a hacker is was a prerequisite for being a corporate executive, police officer, or legislator.
Brute-force password crack = OMG HAX0RZ!!!!!!!!!!!111111111
Oracle’s in a bad enough position already without presenting themselves as childish and ignorant.
So what does that make Australians?
I always laugh when Americans stereotype brits. I don’t think they have any idea how much we laugh about them!
:) It is good description for Israelis as well.
