    HACKING

                     Hacking means someone tries  to  get  into your account  or device  without  your
                     permission. Hackers are the people who do this. Some hackers are good and try to

                     find ways to fix problems and make things safer, but others are bad and try to steal
                     your personal details or mess up your accounts.

                                                                                            Just like you lock your
                                                                                              doors at home, you
                                                                                              should protect your

                                                                                             digital life with strong
                                                                                            passwords and smart
                                                                                                   security.

                     In the digital world, hacking happens when someone secretly gains access to your
                     online accounts, like social media, games or even bank accounts and uses them
                     without your consent.

                     Hackers can cause many problems once they get into your account. Their actions

                     can affect not only your online life but also the people around you.
