HBGary Federal Hacked By Anonymous 377
An anonymous reader writes "As the coin was tossed to kick off Superbowl XLV, Anonymous unleashed their anger at a security firm who had been investigating their membership. HBGary Federal had been working on unmasking their identities in cooperation with an FBI investigation into the attacks against companies who were cutting off WikiLeaks access and financing. Unlike the DDoS attacks for which Anonymous has made headlines in recent months, this incident involved true hacking skills."

Hacker is a shibboleth, like spelling perl in lower case (as opposed to PERL). It lets people know that you are hip to the lingo of hackers.
I'm not sure what blackhats use.
Anyway, there's a subsection on wikipedia specifically on computer related shibboleths [1], and "hacker definition controversy" gets its own bloody article [2].
I'm pretty sure everyone on Slashdot knows, and they just leave it in there to generate meaningless discussions. That's half the point of slashdot.
