Computer hacking is currently the most complex job/past time that someone can do. It requires a massive amount of HTML and computer skills. It requires you to disable the firewall of another person’s computer, and literally walk into their database with information. Even though this is illegal, many teenagers do it just to prank their friends. It is a Federal violation, and can get you 10 years in prison. However computer hacking does have its upsides. If your friend was attacked by a virus, and his credit details were saved on his computer and he can’t get them out, it’s your job to run in there and retrieve them. There are also many other ways that hacking can be useful.

Hackers usually have hundreds of firewalls on one computer and tend to have multiple computers in the room with them, just in case if they were attacked by a counter hack, a virus sent out to hack other hackers. These guys, tend to be in their mid to late twenties, and while it’s a cliche, many do tend to live in their mothers’ basement. What they can get from this is amazing; bank records, credit card purchases, passwords and so much more. Basically, if someone hacks into your computer, you are giving them your identity.

It is always best to have anti-virus software. There are plenty of them on the internet, however very few offers the best and most efficient results. The best way to defend you from any kind of attacks is to have anti-malware software. This covers literally any kind of unwanted intrusions on your computer. Just keep this in mind, be sure to do your research before downloading anything. If it is a website with a massive amount of pop-ups appearing on your screen, do not trust that website.
