Hacking and Why Its Still An Issue

WHAT IS HACKING?

Hacking is often portrayed in movies as something cool or even heroic, but in the real world, it's a serious issue. At its core, hacking is when someone breaks into a computer system or network without permission. While not all hackers are 'evil'—some hackers actually help companies find security flaws, but, there’s a growing concern about the damage that 'evil' hackers can do.

The biggest problem with hacking is how easily it can disrupt people’s lives. A hacker can steal sensitive information like passwords, These kinds of data breach can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and a lot of stress for the victims. Businesses also suffer when they’re hacked, losing not only money but customer trust too.

On a larger scale, hacking can threaten national security. There have been cases where hackers targeted government systems or critical infrastructure like power grids and hospitals. These attacks can have serious consequences, especially if they come from well funded groups or foreign governments.

In short, hacking is a real and growing problem. As technology continues to evolve, so do the tools and tactics used by hackers. That’s why it's important for individuals, companies, and governments to take cybersecurity seriously and stay one step ahead.

"Some ways to Beat Hackers"

1: Use Strong, Unique Passwords

-Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.

-Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.

-Consider using a password manager to keep track of them.

2: Enable Two-Factor Authentication

-This adds an extra layer of security, so even if someone gets your password, they can’t get in without a second verification step (like a code sent to your phone).

3: Keep Software and Devices Updated

-Hackers often exploit known vulnerabilities in outdated software.

-Always install security updates for your operating system, apps, antivirus programs & VPN's

4: Use Antivirus and Anti-Malware Tools

-These programs can detect and block malicious software before it causes harm.

-Make sure they’re up-to-date and running in the background.

5: Be Smart About Emails and Links

-Don’t click suspicious links or open attachments from unknown sources.
