In cybersecurity, "crackers" are individuals who intentionally break into computer systems or networks without permission, often with malicious intent such as theft, damage, or disruption. They exploit vulnerabilities using various techniques like hacking, exploiting software flaws, or guessing passwords. Unlike ethical hackers who test security with authorization, crackers operate illegally, risking legal consequences. Their activities can compromise personal, corporate, or government information, making cybersecurity crucial to detect and prevent their intrusion efforts.
