Let me correct this a bit. I don't think "hacker" is a negative word.
I think the way the media uses it [e.g. that hacker can forge messages
in your name] is bad.
Moreso, they're cryptographers not hackers. Hackers are the types of
folk who see how things work together and build things in an almost
playful sense. Cryptographers [in this case] analyze protocols and
break things by finding flaws.
