Most acts of computer hacking are illegal.
However, not all hacking into someone's computer is illegal - sometimes, companies hire professional security testers to purposely hack into their systems to determine how safe they are. This is known as penetration testing, also called "white-hat hacking" and "ethical hacking." While such activities are technically hacking, they are not illegal because the attackers have permission.
This doesn't mean that any hacking for which permission has been granted is legal, however. If someone gives you permission to hack their system, but they do not own the system or its network resources, it can be illegal.
