Hackers
It is the weekend you have nothing to do so you decide to play around on your computer .
You turn it and than start up , calling people with your modem , conneciting to another world
with people. This is all fine but what happens when you start getting into other people’s
computer files , then it becomes a crime and who are the criminals. To begin i will start
with hacking and hackers.
Hacking is the act of breaking into computers and network of other poeple’s with out
any permission . Hacking is like drugs or any other substance , its an addiction for the mind
and once started it is diffucult to stop . Hacker is a person who enjoy learning details of a
programming language or system , who

They also gain great deal of power from learning confidential
information. Hacking involves accumulation of knowledge which is accompanied by the
greater status and power . Some of the hackers say that they only punish people an companies
that they do not like and to show weakness of companies which have poor security. Some feel
that if they put others down they will elevate to higher level. Most of the young hackers do
not know the implication of what they are doing , they do not consider that if they do get into
a system and start to hack they could costs the company thousands millions of dollars. Every
computer proffesionals have made mistakes thatr has caused the loss of data , service and
money but some hackers have never been in real situation to understand this issue. These
people are displaying situational morailtiy.
Many professionals argue that the cause why hackers hack is about the same as any other
criminal. It mostly has to deal with their familes and friends and the enviroment they grew
up in. I agree with professionals at this point and ý belive that the issue goes back to how they
are raised . I am not saying that these people have bad parents . I think that while parents go
around telling their children not to use drugs or any other substance , to study hard in school,
probably they do not their children not to break
In the early days of computing, a hacker was primarily referred to as a computer guru, someone who is extremely technical with a high expertise in computer also known as “Expert Programmers”. Nevertheless, as technology is advancing at a face pace, hacking has adopted a completely different definition. The modern definition is someone who access a computer system primarily to steal or destroy information. Hacking has caused major harm in the realm of technology. Over the years, hackers have become much more lethal in their craft. They manage to break into complex information systems from entities such as banks, government agencies, and private businesses. Furthermore, they often manipulate their victims through social engineering in order to obtain financial benefits. Hackers hold different label such as: black hat hacker and white hat hacker in which all have their own motives.
The word hacking, usually associated with information technology, is a term used for the development of creative solutions for a problem by someone in a non-professional environment. With the introduction of personal computers and the internet, anyone could create solutions to problems in computer science. This led to the emergence of “hacker culture”, leading to the decentralization of computer industry (Hicks, 2014).
Linton (2011, p.44) stated that hacking of network of common users and attacking their personal computers is one of the most threatening problems at present. It is happening in every second that results in a loss in several ways like loss of credentials, personal information etcetera. Although the use of personal computers and the internet has been increased rapidly, numbers of users who are the expert and have good knowledge to tackle the matters are very rare. In addition, time, as well as required equipment to protect hacking, is also very.

When people think of hacking, they think of the Matrix style hacking where they look at an interpretable screen with falling green symbols. Contrary to popular belief, hacking has become much easier as technology advances and more wireless alternatives become available such as bluetooth cars and phones. Technology companies have also begun to increase their security and has slowed the amount of attacks and has reduced the amount of personal information that can be stolen . However, even
This abundance of sensitive data offers criminals with an even more wide range of openings to profit from stolen information and I.P. (Intellectual property). Also, overseas governments and crime organizations have incorporated hacking as one of their effective criminal tools at their disposal.

Throughout the decades since technology has been introduced into society; there has been people to exploit them for money, personal gain, and “fame”. Every since the first personal computer that came out in 1940s people were all thinking of the possibilities to either gain information and provide an easier life style for the ones using it. Information comes in different from personal information to very confidential information. There are many reasons why people hack to get information; personal reasons and gains, corporate espionage and just for malicious purposes. There are also many discipline methods when it comes to people
Computer hacking: Is the practice of modifying computer hardware and software to accomplish a goal outside of the creator’s original purpose. People who engage in computer hacking activities are often called hackers. Since the word “hack” has long been used to describe someone who is incompetent at his/her profession, some hackers claim this term is offensive and fails to give appropriate recognition to their skills. The majority of hackers are technology buffs. They are self-motivated and learning about computers is their true passion. ("What Is Computer Hacking?" WiseGEEK. N.p., n.d. Web. 27 July 2013).
"Hackers", on the other hand probably view the system more abstractly, as a resource waiting to be used at the end of a telephone line, a challenge beckoning them, calling to them irresistibly, whispering to them, "There will be no damage done and no one will be the wiser."
Hacking is the process of gaining unauthorized access to information through various means like systems or computers. In the context of computer security, a hacker is that person who looks for weakness in a system so that they can gain access to unauthorized information. They are motivated by various reasons like protest, profits or evaluating the entire system weaknesses.
As the world becomes more and more reliant on computers the computer hacking industry is greatly rising. With people such as Kevin Mitnick, who is known as a "computer terrorist" (Kjochaiche 1), computerized information isn't safe any more. Kevin is known as "the most high-profiled computer criminal and responsible for more havoc in the computer world today."(1) He considered this a fun and easy task. He got caught and thrown into prison, but once he got out nothing changed. Kevin stated that as long as the technology is there it just calls to people to break into it. Computer hackers usually start off young, thinking that it is nothing but a little harmless fun. But as they get older, they realize it has turned into
The internet is a medium that is becoming progressively important as it makes information available in a quick and easy manner. It has transformed communications and acts as a global network that allows people to communicate and interact without being limited by time, boarders and distance. However, the infrastructure is vulnerable to hackers who use the system to commit cyber crime. To accomplish this, they make use of innovative stealth techniques for their malicious purposes in the internet.
Also criminals can use computers to communicate and store data. These criminals involved in these illegal activities are called hackers.
Outsider attackers often called hackers because they gain access to system without authorization or permission from the owners or legitimate user. With information technology, comes increase risk of fraud and information theft. Hackers can steel sensitive information from one organization and sell it to a
