Hackers: Cyber heroes or criminals?

           Protagonist, desperado, villain, criminal, thoughtless, hero, unlawful, superior, defender, and sensible; these are the qualities possessed by any anonymous spyware so-called hacker. What may possibly can a submissive hacker perform? These unidentified personalities know how to trace internet protocols and execute its program; they can read supplementary private messages from social sites, they have supremacy over someone’s profile, steals data, manages to create other program in contrast to the real entity like producing free calls and so as free downloads that may acquire bugs, commands online banking or teller machines to pull out a firm amount of money. 


          Though some hackers are intended to defend a pledged company and protect from other illegal hackers. Are hackers a hero or villains?

         For your information, there are three types of hackers, a white hat, black hat, and grey hat hacker. The white hat hacker, an ethical cyber spy and a computer security expert, guarantees the security of a company’s information systems by means of of evaluating systems, testing methodologies for security and investigating an. Hackers are also called sneakers, red teams, or tiger teams. On the other hand, black hat hackers, so-called crackers or dark side hacker, are unethical who uses his skills to break into computer networks for earnings, protest, or they are being motivated by the confrontations, and just an ordinary criminal intent.

           Who's your bet? White hat hackers are heroes. Though they are hackers, they still have the intention to secure a computer system. 


 "The new breed of hackers are driven by money, that's their main motivation, extorting businesses and other institutions. A few years ago it was just guys doing it for fun." 
                                     Jacques Erasmus 


  

        Jacques is a noble white hat hacker and was once an adolescent who breaks into computer systems for pleasures and is now a money-spinning security expert who designs counter measures adjacent to hackers and computer villains. Below is a video coverage [courtesy of YouTube] of an interview from BBC World with Jacques.
  



          Hacking computer system, database, stealing information without any authorization has always been at the top of rumors. So why not try hacking other's life or even yours? No!! Just kiddin'.
          Remember that hacking shouldn’t be always called as terrible entity. There are hackers whose intention is to guarantee full security for company with vast database. So try hacking for other's sake not just for your own good.

I thought I'm reading a blog of a professional blogger. Well done, nice idea of comparing a hero and a criminal to define a hacker.
