There are a few different types of hackers. blackhat/greyhate/whitehat are the most commonly heard of hackers. then there are a subsection of whitehat or greyhat which are called penetration testers, they are working as hackers in a legal manner since they are hired specifically for testing the companies security. while this is similar to the description you gave for the greyhat, the greyhat can still get in a lot of trouble for breaking in uninvited. then there are the commonly referred to script kiddies who are sometimes the most damaging type of hacker as they can just run things that they don’t know about and break a lot more than they intend.

Of course, you may know all of this, but it may also be of interest to the people reading the comments.

“You know what’s the most interesting part? Wargaming can blame testers, close alpha test in Europe, ban players for leaks, but they can never fix the errors on their part.”

-Um, Yes they can, and they do. Most everything in cyber space is able to be exploited in some way, a ‘hacker’ would know that. Only thing you can do is cover those holes as they are found. If sometimes testers happen to be those holes, then so be it.

Not sure how it is the most “interesting” part, but sounds like a thing a troll with a bone to pick with WG would say. Good on him to report the exploit to them though. Deserves respect for that.

There is a name for this type of hacker who will hack companies simply to then post how he hacked them and make it known they have a bug in public for both other hackers and the company to know(As opposed to simply telling only the company, or simply telling other hackers and then exploiting the hack)

They are grey hat hackers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_hat
