                     Hacking

                     Hacking refers to the act of gaining unauthorised access to a computer
                     system or network. It can be divided into two main categories:
                        Malicious hacking: This involves illegal activities, such as accessing
                        or exploiting computer systems or networks to steal data, disrupt

                        operations, spy or cause harm.
                        Ethical  hacking: This is a lawful  and authorised  activity  where

                        individuals, known as “white-hat hackers,” access computer systems or networks to identify
                        and fix vulnerabilities, preventing them from being exploited by malicious hackers.

                     Steps to Prevent Hacking

                       Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security.
                       Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files.

                       Set up a firewall and antivirus software and perform regular scans on your hard drives to
                        ensure protection.

                       Always keep your password secure and complex, using a combination of numbers, special
                        characters, lowercase and uppercase letters. Change it periodically and never share it with
                        anyone.

                       Be cautious and avoid clicking on pop-up ads that offer to scan your computer for viruses.
                       Hackers may try to exploit open Bluetooth signals to access your devices. Disable Bluetooth

                        when it's not needed and take extra care when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks.

                                                   Phishing

                                                   Phishing  is  a common  online scam  designed  to trick  people  into
                                                   revealing personal information.  It often appears legitimate  or

                                                   trustworthy at first, but its main aim is to steal sensitive details, such
                                                   as passwords, bank account information or private messages.

                                                                                     Ethics and Digital Responsibility  67
