Από την άλλη άκρη της Αμερικής χρειάστηκε να κουβαληθεί ο άνθρωπος για να μου πει ότι τόσην ώρα στον τίτλο είχα hactivism και hactivist. Θα επικράτησε η λατινική αισθητική μου την ώρα που τα έγραφα. Πολλοί τα γράφουν έτσι, με πρόχειρη γκουγκλοστατιστική οι δύο στους τρεις, ήδη από το 2000, που άρχισαν να κυκλοφορούν περισσότερο οι όροι. Όμως για να γίνει το σωστό σύνθετο, χρειάζεται ολόκληρο το hack, δεν φτάνει μόνο το πρώτο γράμμα. Με αυτή την ορθογραφία τα λημματογραφεί (από το 2006) και το OED:
hacktivist, n.
Brit. /ˈhaktɪvɪst/, U.S. /ˈhæktəvəst/
[Blend of either hack n.1 or hack v.1 and activist n. Compare slightly later hacktivism n.]
A person who attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer files or networks in order to propagate a social or political message.
1995 Village Voice (N.Y.) 27 June 34/1 About 300 queers descended on the park at the behest of a local computer hacktivist. 1999 Sci. Amer. Jan. 13 (caption) Government websites have become the targets of ‘hacktivists’. 2003 J. C. Dvorak et al. Online! xi. 280 You should always be on guard against hoaxes, whether perpetrated by a hacktivist with a cause or a con man with an angle.
hacktivism, n.
Brit. /ˈhaktɪvɪz(ə)m/, U.S. /ˈhæktəˌvɪz(ə)m/
[Blend of either hack n.1 or hack v.1 and activism n. Compare slightly earlier hacktivist n.]
The practice of gaining unauthorized access to computer files or networks in order to propagate a social or political message.
1998 Re: UNICEF was hacked for Mitnick in alt.hacker (Usenet newsgroup) 10 Jan. There is a phenomenon called ‘hacktivism’ that is valid if it is thought through and the point is delivered with lucidity, rather than adolescense [sic]. 2000 Village Voice (N.Y.) 1 Aug. 31/1 If you deface a Web site because that just happens to be the one you can deface, that's vandalism. But if you target a Web site because of its particular message, that's hacktivism. 2003 J. Pickerill Cyberprotest v. 126 Another form of hacktivism to have been encouraged is the physical tampering with computers.

Πολύ ενδιαφέρων ο νεολογισμός που σχολίασες nickel. Όμως ενώ καταλαβαίνω τον χακτιβισμό ως κίνημα δυσκολεύομαι στην διαφοροποίηση των όρων hacker και hactivist. Ο ακτιβισμός διακρίνει τον δέυτερο από τον πρώτο; Και αν ναι ο πρώτος θεωρείται παθητικότερος του δεύτερου; Ή μήπως ο χάκερ κινείται από μια εσωτερική αναγκαιότητα για την πράξη του ενώ ο χακτιβιστής κινείται μέσα σε ένα ιδεολογικό πλαίσιο/υπόβαθρο;
Μα, ένας χάκερ δεν είναι κατ' ανάγκη και ακτιβιστής — και, το σπουδαιότερο, δεν είναι κράκερ (http://www.lexilogia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=492).
