87 hacker
Un hacker est un professionnel de l’informatique de haut niveau, qui crée ou modifie des équipements informatiques ou des programmes. Un hacker désigne par exemple un concepteur de logiciels ou un programmeur dont l’excellence est reconnue, ou alors un informaticien de haut vol spécialisé dans la sécurité des systèmes informatiques en réseau. Dans la communauté non technophile, le terme "hacker" a une connotation négative puisqu’il est souvent utilisé pour désigner une personne pénétrant par effraction dans un système informatique. Utilisé à tort et à travers, le terme perd son sens original, à savoir un niveau professionnel d’excellence reconnu par ses pairs.
