The White Hat Hacker

There's so many names for people who steal other people's information. In the electronic world mainly one name comes to mind, hacker. White hat hackers are known as former bad guy hackers that now are reformed and do hacking for the good of electronic humanity. How can you paint a hacker in a good light like this? Well companies hire white hat hackers to hack into their systems to see if they need a stronger one based on the security.  I like the fact that these once bad guys swallowed their pride of trickery and skill to do something that isn't so bad. Testing and hacking your own security system to see if you need a better one is a great concept and is deserving of a reward. Hats off to the white hackers of IT security!
