Y> A securitY hole or an instance of taking advantage of a securitY hole. "[...] hackers saY exploit. sYschefs saY hole" -- Mike Emke . Emke reports that the stress is on the second sYllable. If this is true, this maY be a case of hackerlY zero-deriving verbs (especiallY instantials) from nouns, akin to "write" as a noun to describe an instance of a disk drive writing to a disk.
