This is important. Hacking isn’t just malicious manipulation inflicted upon a system. A successful hack changes the hacked system, even more so as it is repeatedly used and becomes popular. It changes how the system works, either because the system gets patched to prevent it or expands to encompass it. Hacking is a process by which those who use a system change it for the better, in response to new technology, new ideas, and new ways of looking at the world.
