Today's top stories in the Bombay Times - the city supplement of The Times of India - has an article mourning the death of Jude Milhon - 'Patron Saint' of hacking.  Old news for some, still interesting to note that this should occupy space on the front page of a daily that typically covers style, trends, lifestyle, 'page three' set, beautiful people.  And is read by all audiences - housewives and students included. 

Hackers lose 'patron saint' - Times News Network

If there’s a heaven, the angels are in for a hell of a time when Jude Milhon, the considered the internet’s real and very earthy ‘patron saint’ of hacking, shows up.

Better known on the internet by her nom de plume, St Jude, Milhon has died of cancer. Her age was an issue Milhon decided not to address. Even her closest friends could only guess at it, and they admitted they could be off by as much as a decade.

She worked as a freelance cyberjournalist and as a programmer with several Silicon Valley startupss. Her previous work includes a seminal stint as senior editor for Mondo 2000, the cutting-edge magazine of digital culture. In her work she explored boundaries and shaping of identity in networked societies. ‘St Jude’ coined the term ‘cypherpunk’ to describe cryptography activists, and has widely published on the digital culture.

Her books include: The Cyberpunk Fake Book, How to Mutate and Take Over the World (with R U Sirius).
