Hackers | Who Are Hackers?

Who are hackers and how do they hack? Hackers are excellent computer programmers who use a very good and strong software like PERL or Python to steal (hack) important data from the internet or even a user's computer. What hackers are mainly interested is a fact that is unknown to many internet users.

A few hackers try to hack military databases and spend almost months together trying to crack the password code. Some other hackers are nasty people and try to steal porn content from other users. A few hackers hack into the bank accounts, wipe the money off the account and evacuate the place without leaving any traces behind. Yet other hackers hack articles from other webmasters who write too many posts everyday. Or worse they may hack into the blogger account of another blogger and change the password code thus getting a good website with high traffic for absolutely no effort.

The process of hacking is quite simple. Hackers send a piece of code called as Trojan (also called as horse) into the targeted computer.The trojan horse collects all the data while the system administrator connects to the internet. Thus when the user logs into his accounts the hackers hacks the data from the browser (either by collecting the information in the cookies or live with the help of the Trojan). That's it! A few days later the system administrator gets confused and thinks that there was some mistake done from him while entering the password. After repetitive trials the administrator finally gets to know that his account has been hacked. And the best way to retrieve it is to hack the computer of the hacker who has hacked his account!

The best way to stay safe from hackers is to delete the browser's browsing data as soon as the transactions are over. There is a small chip in the credit card which helps the hackers in cracking the password code. Destroy that chip and your account stays safe from hackers. Always use good and long passwords which are strong to hack. Do not store any personal information in the form of a password. A password which signifies lovers name, phone number, favorite celebrity number is dangerous. No strong and strange English dictionary words. There are automated softwares designed by hackers which use all the English words, quotes, etc to hack into the user accounts.
