                      In the digital world, there are people who use their skills for good, but there are also those who use

                      Hacker

                      A  hacker is  someone  who uses  their  computer skills  to  get  into
                      systems,  networks  or devices.  Some  hackers  use  their  skills  for
                      good, like helping companies find and fix problems. These hackers
                      are called ethical hackers. However, some hackers use their skills

                      for bad things, like stealing information or causing problems. These
                      hackers are called cybercriminals.

                                                   safe. They work for companies to find problems in their systems and
                                                   fix them before bad people can use them.
