Every click, scroll, and search we make online could be at risk—because of something called hacking. Hacking happens when someone secretly breaks into a computer, phone, or online account, often without permission. Some hackers do it to steal money, spread viruses, or collect personal information. These are known as black hat hackers. But not all hackers are bad—white hat hackers use their skills to protect systems and stop cyberattacks. There are also grey hat hackers, who fall somewhere in between. In today’s digital world, hacking is a serious threat, and that’s why protecting our devices and passwords is more important than ever.
