SNP’s word of the day: Hacker
Illustration by Lewis Mirrett Word: Hacker
Meaning: Someone who uses computers and technology to gain unlawful access to data; someone who uses that access to mess with the digital world.
Usage: “Computer hackers are frequently denigrated as mere digital pranksters. But some are now finding they have the power to change the world for good” — from the dek of a Guardian piece by The Revolution Will Be Digitised–author, Heather Brooks.
