Black Hat

Black Hat refers to individuals or practices that exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems or networks with malicious intent. Often called hackers, they may steal data, cause damage, or disrupt services for personal gain, crime, or malicious purposes. Black Hat hackers operate outside legal boundaries, unlike ethical hackers who test security with permission. Their activities can threaten privacy, financial stability, and infrastructure. Understanding Black Hat activities is important for cybersecurity, as it highlights the need for strong defenses and vigilant monitoring to protect digital assets from malicious threats.
