Well, it's a tough question. Personally, I keep myself isolated to w00w00, and so I am not as exposed to it as some might be. w00w00 is a white hat organization, and we don't support the activities they are doing. With that said, most are young people just trying to get themselves into computer security, and the "script kiddie" phase is the phase were they are beginning to understand security (enough to use exploits), but not fully aware of the consequences. Most, over time, will continue their study and eventually outgrow that phase. If the trend continues to rise, I think it would more imply that there is a boom of people getting interested in computer security, which is great. They just need to slow down for a while and finish learning ;)

Rather than an individual picture, Matt gave us the latest picture of the w00w00 team:
