    1. What Are The Effects Of Computer Hacking? ...

    The Difference Between Hackers And Crackers

    The term 'hacker' is a mis-used term and we should really be referring to a 'cracker'.

    When used correctly, 'hacker' refers to computer enthusiasts who enjoy learning everything about a computer system, pushing the system to its highest possible level of performance. Some use their skills for business, developing penetration tools to analyze a customer's networks for security vulnerabilities.

    'Cracker', on the other hand, is the term used to describe those who break security through a vulnerability on our system. The name was given by hackers to counter journalistic mis-use of the word 'hacker'.

    Crackers seek to 'crack' or gain unauthorized access to computers to steal what we have stored on our computers, such as credit card numbers, bank account details, address books or other personal, financial or business information.

    Because of the understanding amongst most people that hackers are malicious, for the purposes of this article, I will use 'hacker' and 'cracker' interchangeably to mean intruders with malicious intent.
