• ethical hacker (this cracks me up)

I'd expect more from Gizmodo... Ethical hackers are essential to a business. Hire one to find the holes in your security before the unethical ones do. Although, the proper term, unless something has changed in recent years, is white hat. (unethical would be black hat)

I think it cracks them up since it sounds like someone who hacks other peoples ethical values.
