Hacks and Hackers

"Hacks" and "hackers" refer to activities and individuals involved in exploiting or manipulating systems, often in the realm of technology. A "hack" typically means finding clever or unauthorized ways to access or change information within technology, like computers or networks. "Hackers" can be categorized mainly into two types: "white hat" hackers, who use their skills to improve security and protect systems, and "black hat" hackers, who exploit vulnerabilities for malicious purposes. Understanding this distinction is essential in discussions about cybersecurity and the ethical implications of technology use.
