Many cyberpunks are the best and brightest of the computer hacker evolutionary chain.
Most hackers say that they were simply exploring other computers and trying to learn more about computers and programming. The challenge, they say, was simply to gain entrance into college, business, and government computers and learn something others didn't know. As time went on, the challenges became fewer, information seemed more frightening, and some hackers began to develop a very definite attitude toward the government and multi- national corporations that they were invading. These now infamous codes have come to be known as a computer viruses. Scores of these crippling or even destructive viruses are written and unleashed on unsuspecting computer users every year.
