What is a black hat? It is a type of hacker that does not operate within the boundaries of the law. A black hat is often a malicious hacker who seeks to tamper with and / or exploit a program, file, server or other media (hardware or software) for personal gain or just for the fuck of it. White hats, by comparison, are "good guy" hackers (who work to improve security). Grey Hats fall in between.
The leader of the group who is stealing files suggested to me that I did not know what a black hat was when I mentioned (repeatedly) that I would love to find one to fuck up the files he's serving with some very nasty viruses. Unfortunately for him I know very well what black hats are. My husband, depending on your perspective, is one. If my husband did not have a high security government job this would not be a discussion and the files on that site would have been infected with a series of viruses designed to destroy a computer - not merely correctable by a format and reinstall. Once he went legit I had to remove myself from any and all contacts with 'undesirable' types and most foreigners. J.M. Pescado and everyone who downloads those stolen files should consider themselves lucky that this didn't happen a few years earlier Than again, you never know when an old friend may crawl out of the woodwork or when a bunch come to town for a Black Hat Convention (I can damn near throw a rock at that hotel from my balcony). I can't stop J.M. Pescado or those like them but I can fuck with stolen goods all I want. Consider yourself warned.
My take on this particular person, however, is that she's full of shit and the threat is empty. Heck, her hubby probably works at McDonald's.
