A HACKER
Mänuge a deux
There is no gingle hacker prof~le, and that's what makes them dangerc~u'.
It's possible for a hacker to mingle wi~h ordinary societ ~r and go
undetected for long perlods of time, as long as he doesn't open his mouth.
Here are the most common hacker traits and characteristics to look for
if you suspect a hacker has slipped into your llfe. Watch for them. Be on
your guard. lf gameonc you know or Ic~ve begins to exhibit these ~igne, it's
prnfbahly aiready too late. Once sc~meone has turned to a computer fot
companIonship, affection and emotional support you might as well find a
reF,lacement. He'll never come back.
