Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / NGN tīkli | | English term or phrase: phreak | | A phreak is someone who breaks into the telephone network illegally, typically to make free long-distance phone calls or to tap phone lines. The term is now sometimes used to include anyone who breaks or tries to break the security of any network. Recently, the phone companies have introduced new security safeguards, making phreaking more difficult. |

| | frīkeris | Explanation:
"As telephone networks have become computerized, phreaking has become closely linked with computer hacking" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreaking)
No augšminētā citāta redzams, ka šis "phreak" ir tuvs rada gabals hakerim.
Vārds "frīks" jau ir "aizņemts", tāpēc piedāvāju darināt vārdu no frīkings (tā šo būšanu sauc) + hakeris = frīkeris. |

Explanation:
No darbības vārda "ielauzties", piemēram: svešā mājā. Šai gadījumā ielaušanās notiek telefona tīklos.

Arī angļu aprakstā ir minēts "who breaks into", tātad - "kāds, kas ielaužas". Līdz ar to, šis varētu būt tas retais gadījums, kad tulkojums precīzāk atklāj jēdziena saturu par oriģinālo terminu! :)
Es pieņemu še pievienoto phreak raksturojumu par pareizu, lai gan šaubas varētu rasties, jo, piemēram, Wikipēdijā ir citi akcenti.
