Black hat hacking

Black hat hacking refers to activities conducted by individuals who exploit computer systems and networks with malicious intent. These hackers bypass security measures to steal data, disrupt services, or cause harm, often for personal gain, such as financial profit or to damage organizations. Unlike ethical hackers, who help strengthen security, black hat hackers operate outside the law, engaging in activities like identity theft, installing malware, and ransomware attacks. Their actions pose significant risks to individuals, businesses, and society, highlighting the importance of robust cybersecurity measures.
