Aristotle (4th century BCE, Greece)

"That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it. Every one thinks chiefly of his own, hardly at all of the common interest; and only when he is himself concerned as an individual."

(Politics, Book 2, Part 3)

The quote is very clear about people just think about their interest, and forget about others.

In the case that I choose, the hackers attacked to the airport websites. As they said, those hackers just wanted to explore new things and wanted to show off to the hacker community. They would not know the effects that they might made while doing that. They didn’t mean to steal or harm anything.

I agree that those hackers are wrong when doing this. Exploring new things is a good way to learn, but using it to attack to someone’s privacy is wrong. Their acts would not harm anyone, but it could relate to something else, like the flight could be delayed for hours. Or even the other hackers could know that vulnerability and create another attack with more harmful.
