Before I blog any further, I want to differentiate between the two terms hacking and hacktivism.
Hacking is illegally breaking into computers to reek havoc on a target. Hackers are mostly very malicious in the work that they do and know that by hacking onto a person's computer, they are going to inflict considerable harm on that person.
On the contrary, hacktivism is the use of computers as a mans of protest. The main difference between hacktivism and hacking is that hacktivism is legal whereas hacking is not. People that hack utilize illegal means to gain access into another persons computer. Hacktivism is perfectly legal as the information that they have is obtained in a legal matter.
Now that we have a clear understanding of the two similar terms, I will continue to blog :)
