         I think they’re keeping that seperate from Lulzsec because most of what they did after that was simple DDOS stuff.

         I thought lulz did a separate hack, after PSN came back online?

      I think I read that graph differently with lulzsec still being mid-high impact despite their methods.

   Except those are all bad hacks, with exception to like three. It’s a pretty poor example, despite it’s noble intention.

   A better chart would include non-computer hacks, like the original remote train track switcher, immunisation research, traffic light planning, international timetable plannings, and well, anything that gets a system to work in a previously unintentional way(such as, say, using a phone line to transmit an electrical signal at high rates that can be interpreted by electronic devices to transport data across oceans).

   It saddens me that people don’t understand that almost all of modern technology has been developed with the hacker mentality. Though, these are the people who decide what “popular” music is, and look where that is.
