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.
