Hi Meryl,
I did some goggling and picked through a couple of journal articles via the
Uni's library (UoW). Here's a couple of URL's you may want to reference:
Hacking motives
High tech crime brief no. 6
Tony Krone
ISSN 1832-3413
Canberra: Australian Institute of Criminology, January 2005

Securing Linux
By Sam Varghese
July 3 2003
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/07/02/1056825450368.html
There were more (lots more) when I started using synonym searches in Google
("~myth" in google will search for that keyword and its synonyms - see
http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35890#synonym).
Not knowing exactly what you're looking for or why, makes it a little harder
to pick out the wheat from the chaff.
Good luck!
