Telecom confused

Finally installed internet at my flat (which is very exciting) and was flipping through the help booklet trying to install it properly when I spotted an interesting description of 'hackers'. It seems that Telecom has confused 'hackers' for 'crackers' with their description "Hackers will try and break into your computer using their knowledge of security flaws and, once past your computer's defences, they can do pretty much what they like. That means destroying files, stealing information and a whole lot more..."
Just thought it was interesting :D

thus perpetuating the confusion between hackers and crackers...if the national carrier says they're the same thing, well... :)

Telecom injecting fear into their customers' veins...haha..I particularly like how they state 'and a whole lot more...' I will keep an eye out for this when my flat wireless gets connected this week.
