      When I was 12 or 13, I crawled on my belly into my parents bedroom, lifted my father's laptop, and secreted it away to my upstairs bedroom. Then I connected it to the phone jack and dialed up a local BBS, the number of which I got from a similarly devious friend. I learned how to pick locks. I made a thing that went boom.
      I drifted away from this lifestyle because games were just too seductive. I always wonder what would have been had I stayed at the Dark Side of computers and networking.

      ​@CheddarChunguska The suggested justification can be applied to every ruthless, selfish behaviour.
      The point is: When being born, you develop and apply these techniques instinctively, and you are innocent.
      When a teenager or adult applies the same skills, it's a choice to manipulate and betray other people.
      So, no one should not celebrate "social engineers". That's a pleonasm, anyway. They should be named for what they do: They are manipulatists / con people.

    May I ask why clicking on the link is a bad thing (if you are not a government employee)? Clicking on a link only tells you that the email in question has been read, which you can also do by putting a picture in the email? (And if the website contains a zero-day exploit then the hacker will probably get your information anyway)
