Se7en Controversy

Se7en Controversy definition - hacker
A self-proclaimed hacker with a charismatic pseudonym whose real name is Christian Valor. Valor created controversy when in the late 1990s he conducted an alleged vigilante campaign against online pedophiles. However, some in the Computer Underground believe that he never did this because, they say, Valor lacks the required hacking skills.
