Perils of moonlighting as a hacker
Microsoft employee was raided by FBI last week; are hackers working all
over the software industry?
Bob Sullivan
Everybody does it; nobody wants to talk about it. Computer hackers "white

industry, so many are hired by big-name software companies. Then they
dance the awkward dance of dual identities, engineer by day, hacker by
night. The consequences of a misstep in that dance can be severe, as a
hacker calling himself VallaH learned last week. In his case, a visit from
the FBI meant the end of his career at Microsoft, embarassment for the
largest software company in the world, and a new focus on the role of
hackers at work.
