Hacked US Treasury websites serve visitors malware

White hat-hackers

What's a hat-hacker, and what difference does it make as to what color they are? From the article: "...it attacks only IP addresses that haven't already visited the Treasury websites. That makes it harder for white hat-hackers and law enforcement agents to track the exploit."

Maybe what was meant was white-hat hackers, rather than white hat-hackers.

Sorry to be so pedantic...
