Comment Re:Are we finally using the term "pirates" correct (Score 1) 63
First sentence in TFA: "A year ago I blogged about how hackers managed to hijack hundreds of high-profile websites to make them promote online stores that sold pirated software at about 5-10% of a real cost." When they say pirates, they are referring to the fact that these web sites were built to sell pirated software. Even a profession that was not in the tech black market category would have fit in the summary. For example "To drive traffic to their web sites full of illegal and potentially poisonous recipes, rogue chefs hack reputable legitimate websites injecting hidden spammy links and creating doorway pages."
