Looks like a yes in a short story that makes a pretty good attempt at defining keywords for general consumption:
Youth charged after cracking school board database by By Kate Dubinski, QMI Agency.
Near the end of the article, I see:
This is impressive. Person being interviewed takes the time to try to explain differences between these labels, and a reporter that recognized the importance of the definition of words and then takes the time to report on those definitions.
It does look like there was either a misunderstanding in what they reporter was told on what "hackers" are, or the reporter was given incorrect information. Based on the other definitions of the other words being closer than the usual story about a computer criminal, I'd guess the reporter just didn't understand that point, or didn't write down what they intended.
Overall though, I am impressed to see most of the definitions included in the story. Do you think this is a trend? Will we start seeing this kind of thing more often in the world of computer security and reporting about it in the news? I would like to see more of this with industry definitions included in the articles and interviews with the people that are using words with very specific definitions. It really could be helpful in better understanding the news and stories about events in the world.
