The dark counterpart to the Playful Hacker, the cracker is a computer criminal. He may never leave his dark, monitor-lit room, but he can destroy lives and impoverish millions with his miraculous but misused skills, because Everything Is Online. With his Magical Computer, the cracker can break into the CIA, spy on anyone, cause train wrecks and airplane crashes, bankrupt entire nations, and most dramatically, practically wipe a person off the face of the earth by zeroing all his identity and credit records (because, of course, in Hollywood physical identity documents like birth certificates and passports are always null and void). He delights in mayhem and never objects to lining his pockets with money untraceably transferred from someone else's bank account.
