Berikut adalah cuplikan materi final yang dilombakan di puncak acara dengan tema "Hacking". Punten kalau masih ada salah-salah dalam penyusunan kata-kata... Hhhhee
Do you know what a hacker is? Well, a hacker is a person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems on computers and they like to strace the capability of the systems. And you know what the activities the do in the computers are called “hacking”.
So, what’s the problem with ‘hacking and its hackers’? well, the problem is whether ‘hacking and its hackers’ is legal or ilegal? What I mean is that people in the world have many different views about hacking and the hacker. Some of them tabbed but many object.
To get back to what I was saying previousely, let us see the positive point of a hacker, shall we? Although in most places breaking into computers system is consisdered illegal, I believe that hackers don’t do anything illegal because they only want to know and try the system. I dare to say that a hacker likes finding the streghts and the weakness of a computer system. They feel proud if the can the weakness. So I don’t really see the crimes in this case. In addition, these hackers sometimes help the police catch ‘white collar criminals’ such as bank robbers, money launderers, credit card forgers. For example, in 2000, the U.S. hackers caught some Singaporean hackers who made “Virus Love’ to break up the programs of the U.S. National Security system.
Nevertheless, those who object to the good points of a hacker say that hacking is a crime. The reason is that some hackers use their briliant skills to break into banks and other vital institusion where they can get money, destroy information, and the worst thing is they can get secret information and sell it to another country. This is a treachery.
Take for example, in 1994, the U.S goverment broke a condpiration of computer hackers out of Majorca, Spain. These hackers were responsible for accesing and elimination 190.000 telphone credit card numbers over computer bulletin boards in America and Europa. Seeing this fact, I don’t blame those who think negatively about hackers.
To put the whole thing in a nutshell, I personally think that hackers are not bad people with their brilliant skills. However, they could be bad because of money orientation to get hackers. That’s just the point. (History when I still Senior High School)
