Hacker is an expert at programming and solving problems in a computer. Hacker can also be a person who illegally gains access to and sometimes tampers with information in a computer sysytem. As I noticed, the word "hacker" nowadays is refering on to those illegally using their skills wrongfully. And we call the expert do their job in a professional and restricted manner as "IT"... though, I think, IT and hacker are just the same but we should separate the tagging or calling to be precise. That's just my own view distorsi! In any professions, if done in abusive manner can tagged to be a crime. We must follow restrictions to be away on those! I'm not a hacker nor IT... it's just my personal view! Hope I'm quite right here *LOL

Hacker is really good in programming. But there are 2 types of hacker. The white hat hacker and the black hat hacker. The white hat hacker is paid. Their job is to test their system to see what's lacking to make it more secure. And they should make a change after seeing what's wrong with the system. While black hat hackers are really bad. Their is a law now that hackers who had destroy something will be captured. Of course, using the technology it is not impossible to detect the hacker's location. Being a computer student, we were thought with the ethics in using our knowledge about this technology. It is not a good idea to destroy other peoples' system. And they must be responsible with the crimes they had made. They should pay for it. I hope you have learned something from me. If you have any questions about it you can comment on me again. Have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

A Hacker is a skillful masterminded person. they could anything what are they want. as for my own view a hacker is probably a good person but his intention is totally bad. because it connects of the crime world.this activities based on his dishonest way. so, as a hacker he is identified with his illegal activities not as a person.

i believe the hackers have an amazing talent.not all of them should be compared to criminals.it depends of what they are using their talents for. if a hacker breaks people bank accounts and steals their money i think the best word is criminal. it is every person choice to be good or bad.
