Hacktivism isn't found in the graffiti on defaced Web pages, in e-mail viruses bearing political screeds or in smug take-downs of government or organizational networks.
These sorts of activities are nothing more than reverse censorship and "the same old cheap hacks elevated to political protest," according to Cult of the Dead Cow member Oxblood Ruffin.
Hacktivism, as defined by the Cult of the Dead Cow, the group of hackers and artists who coined the phrase, was intended to refer to the development and use of technology to foster human rights and the open exchange of information.
