In the past couple of days, I have seen a number of references to h4x0red. I googled on it, but found only sites that have been hacked (?) and a number of other references that say that it happened to them. However, I couldn't find anything that actually said what it is. Any info is greatly appreaciated.
h4x0red is hacker speak for "Hacked". Some people think it is cool to 'encrypt' their messages by replacing letters with other characters which either look similar (e.g. A -> 4) or sound similar. For example, someone might describe themselves as a "133t h4x0r", or "elite hacker". Of course, the fact that they do not appear to know the correct definition of "hacker", nor do they have anything resembling a life is beside the point...
