Hacking is one of the threat and a global problem. Hacking basically means getting unauthorized access to someone’s personal information and data without even knowing the intended user. Hacking is an illegal activity that hackers do for their own profit and money, they steals users details like card details, bank details etc. and misuse them. Hacking a network or a personal website may include not only access to the data but also to the loss of data, credentials and inappropriate usage.
