Wild slasher and computer criminal (6)
I believe the answer is:
hacker
'criminal' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hacker that I've seen before include "Cyber-terrorist" , "Modern criminal who breaks into computer systems" , "Chopper" , "Cyber criminal" , "One imposing cuts" .)
