In the movies you may have seen, someone is Hacking a website or a digital camera just by pressing "Enter" key but The Real Hacking is not that easy , you have to be strong in mathematics, programming etc. By definition, a Hacker is a clever Programmer who tries to break into a computer system.
How do you know if you are a hacker or not?
well,
1. Do you speak code, fluently?
2. Do you identify with the goals and values of the hacker community?
3. Has a well-established member of the hacker community ever called you a hacker?
if you can answer yes to all three of these questions, you are already a hacker. No two alone are sufficient.
Let's come to the Point.
10: Robert Tappan Morris: Morris is computer scientist who invented the first computer worm on the internet known as Morris Worm in 1988.while he was a graduate student at Cornell University. He released the worm from MIT, rather than from Cornell. The worm exploited several vulnerabilities to gain entry.
Estimated Damage: Near about 53000$.
Criminal prosecution: He was the first person to be indicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. In December 1990, he was sentenced to three years of probation, 400 hours of community service, and a fine of $10,050 plus the costs of his supervision.
To answer a question about Morris worm, he said that he released the worm to figure out how big the Internet was.
9: George Francis Hotz: Hotz is also known as Geohot, an American Hacker famous for hacking Apple iPhone at the age of 17. and He developed the limera1n jailbreak tool and boot rom exploit for iOS. He is also noted for his technical efforts and publicity with reverse engineering the PlayStation 3 video game console, and for subsequently being sued by and settling with Sony.
At the end of April 2011, an anonymous hacker broke into the PlayStation Network and stole personal information of some 77 million users. Hotz denied any responsibility for the attack and said "Running homebrew and exploring security on your devices is cool; hacking into someone else's server and stealing databases of user info is not cool"
Estimated Damage: More than a Million Dollars.
Hotz is working for Google now.

8: Adrian Lamo: Lamo become famous by hacking several high-profile computer networks, including those of The New York Times, Yahoo!, Microsoft and WorldCom. He actually did it just as a challenge and for fun, as he would regularly break into computer systems and then immediately tell the owner of the network about its vulnerability
Estimated Damage: Several Millions of Dollars.
He had leaked many important documents of U.S government to Wikileaks
He was arrested and incarcerated in the U.S. military justice system and later sentenced to 35 years in confinement.

Estimated Damage: $50000+.
Sven Jaschan was found guilty of computer sabotage and illegally altering data. On Friday, July 8, 2005, he received a 21-month suspended sentence. He later received three years probation and had to complete 30 hours community service in a retirement home.
its true that talent like him is really hard to find.
