Does anyone know who he is?

Also, what is the difference between a 'hacker' and a 'cracker'?


For the record, I do know, just wondering whether you guys know who he is?

He was in a US penitentiary for 5 years and to high-tech corporations he is one of the worlds most dangerous man.

He's like the archduke of hacking.

He had to go to court to be allowed a mobile phone.

EDIT - hackers break into systems for the achievement of it, often alerting the administrators afterwards. Crackers break into systems for criminal gain.
