Hackers think of themselves as dangerous. They have powerful skills that can they can use to intimidate and take advantage of others. But hackers are also extremely vulnerable. As children, they were always the outcast, the one that got their glasses stolen and tossed around on the playground. Deprived of valuable peer interaction, they develop into reclusive adults who can easily be taken advantage of by one with an understanding of their psychology.

Hackers prefer warmer temperatures than other people. This is why they eat Cheetos to grow an insulating layer of fat, and why they spend so much time in a sealed room full of octo-core CPUs and graphics cards.

By extrapolation, I predict that hackers are also ambush predators.
