Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new technology, which one of the reasons it is often poorly understood and reported. Many computers, but no means all,are now linked togetherin networks which allow users on one computer to communicate with others on the same network.If a computer is not networked,no manipulation of its datafrom another machine is possible.So long as users are authorised, networking
is just a way of making work easier and more productive.Hacking on the other hand,is the unauthorised use of networks or unauthorised entty into the computers themselves.Most people do not need to break into the networks they use,since they are already accredited users.
1. Most hackers are authorised to break into networks
2. Computers are only vulerable to the unauthorised manipulation of their data via another computer if they are networked
3. The main reason why it is relatively easy to break into a computer is hat few people understand the technology.
4. Hackers do not work fot the firms whose networks they break into.
