Understanding hackers to better protect yourself
The term 'hacker' these days tends to generate negative images in the minds of most computer users, but it wasn't always that way.
Hackers, in general, are very curious about technology and they enjoy exploring the inner depths of programming code and hardware functions to see what else can be done with it.
Malicious hackers are more focused and organized these days as the value of their actions has increased exponentially.
Understanding the hacker mentality can be very helpful in defending yourself against their exploits, so this week we take a deep dive into the world of hacking.
