The movie "Hackers" 1995:
Agent Richard Gill of the Secret Service: "Hackers penetrate and ravage delicate public and privately owned computer systems, infecting them with viruses, and stealing materials for their own ends. These people, they are terrorists."

The White House in 2013:
Attorney General Eric Holder: "Disgruntled insiders information about corporate trade secrets or critical U.S. technology to 'hacktivist' groups like WikiLeaks," the White House warns. Such groups could "develop customized malware or remote-access exploits to steal sensitive U.S. economic or technology information."
