Zero tolerance for hackers (Score 1)

How can we continue to 'accept' hackers without focusing on what we really want - a hacked-free internet.

It seems to me that when someone, or some group of someones, makes it their 'business' to do something illicit regarding tampering with software systems we would express outrage and make every attempt to find - and punish - this someone (or group). Period!

Rather than say "oh well" and "that's someone else's problem", why not insist on hacked-free systems?

A Suggestion: Developers could place a signature code, including a bit-digitalized indicator of their untampered-with software, in every program they sell. Altering this signature would indicate fraud, a hack, and render the product untrustworthy. I don't know what the answer is, but I know what the attitude should be - zero tolerance for hackers!
