Hackers are individuals who by bypassing security systems, infiltrate IT programs and networks. This community is also distinguished by a wide spectrum of “colors,” ranging from black and white to red and orange.
The color “affiliation” of hackers reflects their objectives. White-hat hackers are cybersecurity specialists who break into systems at the request of the owner to identify vulnerabilities or prevent and address cybercrime and its consequences. In contrast, black-hat hackers are the cybercriminals themselves.
The online encyclopedia “Wikipedia” provides detailed information about hackers, with the number of articles related to the IT sector increasing by 100 due to its collaboration with the “Internet Society” NGO.
