                     Crackers

                     A cracker is someone who breaks into systems or software with the intention of causing harm.
                     Crackers usually try to break security codes or remove protection from software. Unlike hackers
                     who may have good intentions, crackers focus on causing problems. They may steal important
                     data such as passwords or personal information. Crackers can spread viruses or harmful

                     software to damage systems. Their actions are illegal and can lead to serious consequences.
