In this episode, we explore the world of hacking in cyber security—what it really means, why it matters, and how it impacts both individuals and businesses. We break it down step by step: What is hacking? – Understanding how attackers exploit weaknesses in computer systems and networks. Who is a hacker? – From ethical white-hat hackers to malicious black-hats, grey-hats, hacktivists, and even script kiddies. Types of hacking – Real-world examples of password cracking, data theft, and privacy invasion. Ethical hacking – How certified professionals legally test systems to make them safer. Cybercrime – From identity theft and ATM fraud to denial-of-service attacks and electronic fund transfers. Hacking isn’t just about crime—it’s also about defense.
