Friends today we`ll talk about Types of Computer hackers.

If you think a computer hacker the one who spends all day in a dark room looking at code on a monitor, you are almost wrong.
A good hacker has to be a good programmer. there are manny different kinds of hackers, some are there to harm and some are there to help.

1) White Hat

Lest`s talk about White Hat hackers, they are individuals who hack into computer systems solely to see how the computer's security systems work.

2) Black Hat

Black Hat hackers are complete opposite of "White Hats". They break into security systems in order to steal bank account information, credit card numbers, vandalize websites or otherwise do harm.

3) Grey Hats

Grey Hat hackers are morally ambiguous. They act in their own self-interests and do not think about the legal reprocussions of their actions. They do not actively seek to break the law, but are not concerned if such is the outcome.

4) Hacktivist

Hacktivists are individuals who hack websites to further some form of political or social agenda.

6) Cyberterrorists

As the name implies, cyberterrorists use computers to engage in acts of terrorism, often times using DoS (Denial of Service) attacks to crash government websites.

So, Now i think if next time some one asks you the types of hackers, you will be able to answer them.
