Top Ten Hackers of all time as listed by itsecurity.com:

Jonathan James
Adrian Lamo
Kevin Mitnick
Kevin Poulsen
Robert Tappan Morris
Stephen Wozniak
Tim Berners-Lee
Linus Torvalds
Richard Stallman
Tsutomu Shimomura


What ya think? I'm not sure Shimomura should be there, after all he's only famous for having got hacked by Mitnick.

True, but its a nice conflict anyway.

Wow, Bill gates isn't there - but Torvalds is. Double standards? On the same basis I'd question why Wozniak is included and Gates isn't again. I mean, if the list is going to include developers of operating systems, why not the most used operating system in the world?
