The problem with some of the younger hackers is they seem to see it all as a digital game and have no feel for what their gaming does to systems and people that do rely on them.

Is some of this type of behavior coming from people that were raised with very little discipline? I’m not going to put a whole generation in one lump, but for a long time there has been social concern there were too many children being raised with less strict methods, called winners in everything and in some cases abused by parents that might just not have cared about their kids at all.

I don’t see some of these cases as being criminal in the classic sense. Of course the outcome of their actions gets into criminality. But, were they criminals going in or just hackers seeing what they could pull off and then going…”cool!” There just seems to be some very naive thinking or total lack of thinking other than the game of getting in.
