June 15, 2007, Newsletter Issue #120: Hackers and Computer Security
Tip of the Week
Hackers first evolved during the 1960´s at university facilities with huge mainframe computers, like MIT´s artificial intelligence lab. Because these computers lacked firewall software or modern internet security, they become staging grounds for hackers. At first, "hacker" was a positive term for a person with a mastery of computers who could push programs beyond what they were designed to do. Later it became associated with computer vandals intent on harming systems.
