Cyber Crime: The Hackers

Here is a fantastic TED talk about hackers, specifically the actual people themselves. The speaker, Misha Glenny, is a journalist who focuses on the globalization of crime and criminal networks. In the modern times, this will always come down to cyber crime as one of the most prolific crimes that trancends national borders. 

I love learning about cyber crime. While human trafficking and drug trafficking are more well known and popularized global crime subjects, cyber crime is truly a product of our current society and a new thing. It's the frontier of the world. The motives are the same as in any crime, but the methodology has led to a whole new arms race. It is truly fascinating stuff.
