Datavores, The

Hackers, crackers, and electronic intruders have always been a problem as long as there have been computers. With increasing dependence on computers and digital technology, the group of 733T HaXor5 that can stay hidden can rule the digital underworld. The Datavores are one such group. They are a very loosely connected network of highly talented and clever people who exchange information on breaking into contemporary data systems. While some groups of this sort also go out for education, the Datavores do not -- if you don't have the skills, you're of no use to them.

The Datavores are definitely a malicious group, but they don't attack frequently; high visibility attacks are a way to draw return fire, and definitely not a GOOD THING in their purview. They are content to change a bit here, transfer a small amount of funds there, and suck blood quietly from the digital world rather than run in and make a loud killing. Stealth is everything to these people.
