Jack's got the best answer. If you're good, then you won't get caught, and to avoid getting caught, you don't tell anyone about it.
But, I also agree with Mitnick for an answer- that's who I would have said. 'Free Kevin' as we used to say, while trying to bail him out of prison.
it started when computer programming started, because that's all it really is- getting into programs. For that other answer about breaking into emails- that's not hacking. It's actually called cracking. they are two totally separate things, and upset people in either field when the wrong terminology is used.

Supposedly one of the greatest hackers is Kevin Mitnick.
Kevin David Mitnick (born August 6, 1963) is a computer user, convicted of wire fraud and of breaking into the computer systems of Fujitsu, Motorola, Nokia, and Sun Microsystems.
Mitnick served five years in prison (four years of it pre-trial), 8 months of that in solitary confinement, and was released on January 21, 2000. During his supervised release, which ended on January 21, 2003, he was initially restricted from using any communications technology other than a landline telephone. After fighting this decision in court, the judge ruled in favor of Mitnick, allowing him to access the Internet.

The best hacker in the world will never be known because he will never be caught and if he went around bragging about his skills and showing them off he would get caught. Hacking started when computer programing was invented. Hacking is programing and finding vulnerabilities in programs and exploiting them.

Ankit Fadia! He's rumoured to be able to crack the password of any e-mail address within an hour.
Hacking started alongside virus-making. This occured in the 1880s once almost everyone in the advanced countries had got the hang of it and wanted to do something a bit more interesting.
P.S: He doesn't keep 'bragging' about his skills.
