As computer use becomes more common, the need for security is more important than ever. One of the
greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking.
Computer hacking is the unauthorized access to a computer or network of computers. Hackers, those people
who illegally enter systems, may alter or delete information, steal private information, or spread viruses that can
damage or destroy files. But how exactly can a hacker get into a system to do these things?
Most hackers use information called protocols that are built into computer software. These protocols allow
computers to interact with one another. Protocols are sort of like computer police officers. When a computer
connects to another system, the protocols check to see if the access is valid. The protocols can also determine
how much information can be shared between the two systems. Hackers can manipulate the protocols to get
unlimited access to a computer system. In fact, just the act of entering a computer network is considered hacking.
This is commonly called passive hacking. Passive hackers get a rush from just being able to access a challenging
system like a bank or military network. Hackers that do damage to a system by releasing viruses or altering,
deleting, or taking information are known as active hackers; they are, by far, the more dangerous of the two.
The easiest way to protect a system is with a good password. Long and unusual passwords are harder for
hackers to guess. For even greater security, some online services now use “password-plus” systems. In this case,
users first put in a password and then put in a second code that changes after the user accesses the site. Users
either have special cards or devices that show them the new code to use the next time. So if a hacker steals the
password, they won’t have the code. Or if the hacker somehow gets the code, they still don’t know the password. 【題組】
