    The definition of hacking
    • Hacking is identifying weakness in computer systems or
    networks to exploit its weaknesses to gain access. For
    example of Hacking is using password cracking algorithm
    to gain access to a system.
    • Hacking is also an attempt to exploit a computer system
    or a private network inside a computer. It is the
    unauthorized access to or control over computer network
    security systems for some illicit purpose.
    The types of hacking
    • Ethical hacking
    • Malware hacking
    • Ego Hacking
    Example of those types hacking
    • Ethical Hacking- For example, exploiting or exposing a
    website in order to discover its weak points. Then report
    your findings and let the appropriate person fix those
    vulnerabilities. Then in the future, should they come under
    attack, they will be that bit safer. You are actually
    preparing them for any real threat of attack because you
    are eliminating the areas which could possibly be
    exploited against them.
    Malware Hacking - A hacker could recruit your computer to a botnet
    using zombieware. This would have minimal impact on you,
    personally, but it means they could use your computer as part of a
    larger-scale attack on a high-value target.

    Ego Hacking - In the workshop, we do an experiment where I give


    you 10 completely untrue negative comments in a row. You will
    logically know that none of what I say is true. Within just a minute,
    your self-esteem and self-confidence would likely be impacted — and
    you logically know that I wasn’t saying anything real.
    Real-live news about hacking
    • News 1 - Malaysia's national cybersecurity agency said it
    detected intrusions in several local servers for years and
    issued advisories to victims but ignorance was still
    making them easy targets for hackers.
    • News 2 - The IRS is paying Equifax millions for a login
    system that has been hacked—twice
    The ethical issue related to the hacking
    • Why Did the IRS pay Equifax $7.25 Million to Help
    Prevent Fraud?
