Our data reveal the computer underground as an invisi- ble community with a complex and interconnected culture, depen ... substitution of rational technological control of the present for an anarchic and playful future. Stigmatizing the Computer Underground The computer underground refers to persons engaged in one or more of several activities, including pirating, anarchy, hacking, and phreaking[1].

Kevin Mitnick, a hacker who has yet to have a harsh punishment when caught, can somehow lower his punishment for his hacking crimes down to a couple months probation. When Kevin was seventeen, he was caught for breaking into a phone center in Los Angeles. He was tried and sentenced to three months stay in a juvenile ... to make free phone calls from payphones and how to crash a system.

Labels of "electronic trespassers" (Parker, 1983), and "electronic vandals" (Bequai, 1987) have both been applied to hackers. Both terms, while acknowledging that "hacking" is deviant, shy away from labeling it as "criminal" or sociopathic behavior.
