Hackers are the people who use the digital media to break in (hack) personal computer or servers via the network. Usually hackers do what they do to steal information but that not the only reason hacker exist.
there are many types of hackers :
White Hat: hackers who hack into security systems , and exploit bugs then report them to the owner without using that for any criminal activates.
Black Hat: hackers who hacks systems and exploit bugs without reporting them, instead they use that to preform cyber criminal activities
Gray Hat: hackers who try to act like white hat hackers, but end up using black hat methods . they are not as bad as the back hat and not as good as the white hat , they are kinda in the middle.

I find the topic of Hacking extremely interesting because there is so many conflicting opinions on whether it can be right or wrong solution in certain situations. I found this article interesting and kind of funny that different hackers have different labels/names, I had no idea! With the "gray hat" definition I was left wondering what a real life example of this would be. Great blog, cool topic!!
