Hacking

Hi everyone!  This post is about hacking.

Hacking is, by definition, breaking into a computer or a website by gaining administrative control.  This means logging into a computer or a webpage or controlling its movements without permission from the user.  An experienced hacker can steal information from a computer without anyone even knowing they were there.  Hacking affects a web designer because their pages are always in danger of being hacked.  A page can be accessed by a hacker and from there can be changed in any way that person desires, because they have total control.  It affects the user because their computer could be being watched or tracked to see what websites they go to, who they are in contact with, etc.  Also, if a computer is hacked and the owner doesn't know, the hacker can do serious damage to the system.  When the owner finds out, it could be too late.  Hacking is not always a bad thing.  Some people work as hackers for a living.  They track suspected criminals' habits on a computer to see what they have been up to.  Or if a website seems to be good on the surface but is actually bad underneath, they can track it or break into it to get rid of it.  Hacking is seen as bad in today's society, but people just don't know the good side.
