Depending on what he does.
If he knows what he's doing is wrong, and yet still persists, then yes.
If he's not doing anything wrong, or Black-Hat-in-Name-Only then he most probably won't.
Or if he doesn't realise what he's doing is against the law, he might be aquitted.
-But for your own personal interests, DON'T BE A BLACK HAT. They are most widely, and most commonly blamed for EVERYTHING, from glitches in software, computer hijacking, to computer crashes.

What are the functions of white hat hacker?
"White hat describes a hacker who identifies a security weakness in a computer system or network but, instead of taking malicious advantage of it, exposes the weakness in a way that will allow the system's owners to fix the breach before it is can be taken advantage by others (such as black hat hackers.) Methods of telling the owners about it range from a simple phone call through sending an e-mail note to a Webmaster or administrator all the way to leaving an electronic "calling card" in the system that makes it obvious that security has been breached. While white hat hacking is a hobby for some, others provide their services for a fee. Thus, a white hat hacker may work as a consultant or be a permanent employee on a company's payroll. A good many white hat hackers are former black hat hackers. The term comes from old Western movies, where hero's often wore white hats and the "bad guys" wore black hats."

2 examples of way in which computer and people are effected when computer are hacked?
Depends on what kind of hacker you are. There are three types of hackers: white hat, grey hat and black hat. White hat hackers are hackers you are given permission by people to test the security of their computer systems. For example, the government or some important business might hire a hacker to see how vulnerable their computers are. The hacker is given the permission to run some tests and that is all. These hackers know when to stop and NEVER do anything criminal at all. Black hat hackers are the hackers who are malicious and evil. They are the people who write viruses and other types of malware to deliberately enter someone's computer system illegally and steal their confidential information like bank account information. Being a black hat hacker can get you into some serious trouble if you are caught. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act has the authority to prosecute black hat hackers and sentence them to prison. This act not only makes it a crime to attempt to hack into someone's computer without permission, but also to conspire to do so. Grey hat hackers are a mixture of both a white and black hat hacker. Grey hats are generally good people, but they will also do bad things time to time. They are hired by people to test their computer systems, but will do malicious things to run tests like infecting the system with a virus or such. Sometimes they will deliberately leave the virus there on purpose just so they can monitor the computer even though the client hired them out of trust. Grey hat hackers can be prosecuted just like a black hat hacker.

What is it called to break into computer but do not steal any information?
It would be defined as grey hat cracking. White, grey and black refer to the ethics of the person. White hat will only do something with consent. Black hat will do what they wish with a malicous purpose in mind. Grey hat does what they feel is right, and are not looking to create havoc. A person that bypasses security to access a terminal is a cracker, not to be confused with hacker.
