Many hackers like to give their hacking skills a work out. to them hacking is just a game of skill and test. They celebrate when they manage to hack a system.

but like many people in the world, hackers are also bad and are not perfect. Some bad one will attempt to steal money from hacking your computer.

overall many hackers hack just for the fun of it and become master computer programmers for a company. A small portion of them use their practiced skill to do bad in the world and cause havoc, they usually end up in their well deserved cell.

What does hacking do?

Hacking is the act of finding and exploiting weaknesses in computers, networks, software, or devices to gain access, control, or information. It can be used for legitimate purposes, such as security testing, vulnerability research, and improving defenses, when performed with authorization, or for malicious ends like data theft, financial fraud, service disruption (DDoS), spying, or installing malware. Techniques range from social engineering and phishing to exploiting software bugs, misconfigured systems, or weak credentials. The effects of hacking vary from minor privacy breaches to large-scale financial loss, reputational damage, and threats to public safety, depending on the attacker’s intent and the target. Defensive measures—patching, strong authentication, network segmentation, monitoring, and security training—help reduce the risk and impact of hacking.
