On air at 1700GMT: Is Hacking Ever Justified?
| 13:52 UK time, Monday, 4 July 2011
Another day, another high profile hack attack - this time a was the target, with claiming President Obama was dead.
A supposed member of the group behind the hack was a continuation of the targeting of big corporations carried out by people previously calling themselves Anonymous:
"There will always be a group of people that need to stand up for everyone else and attempt to keep the government in balance with it's people. Without groups like Anonymous, what is there to prevent corruption?"
Can hacking ever be justified in this way? Can hackers carry out a useful role in our online society? (these are some of the other ways they justify their actions)
Or is any unauthorised attack on someone else's computer or website unquestionably wrong - whatever the consequences happen to be
We're hoping to have a cross-section of hackers on the programme with Ros at 1700GMT who will tell us about what they do and why they do it. Leave your comments and questions for them here.
