through the unauthorized files he or she is
targeting, the hacker has to get through several
security measures like firewalls, secure
connections, passwords, anti-malwares, and data
encryptions.
2. Investigation. URL tracing and logging are used
by websites to track your unique IP addresses.
This can be used by investigators to trace
hackers. In piracy, trackers are used to identify IP
addresses currently sharing a pirated file.
3. Penalties. More and more laws are being created
and implemented today. Penalties include both a
fine and imprisonment.
