Hacker

A Hacker is someone who explores methods for breaching defenses and exploiting weaknesses in a computer system or network. While the term can refer to anyone with technical skills, it often implies unauthorized access to data. Hackers are categorized as “white hat” (ethical hackers), “black hat” (malicious hackers), and “grey hat” (a blend of both), depending on their intentions and actions.
