3.  History –
During the 1990s, the term "hacker" originally denoted a
skilled programmer proficient in machine code and computer
operating systems. In particular, these individuals could
always hack on an unsatisfactory system to solve problems
and engage in a little software company espionage by
interpreting a competitor's code.
Unfortunately, some of these hackers also became experts at
accessing password-protected computers, files, and networks
and came to known as "crackers." Of course, an effective and
dangerous "cracker" must be a good hacker and the terms
became intertwined. Hacker won out in popular use and in

6.  I have to use the term hack because everyone understands it that
way. Like when you say ‘Oh, my facebook account got hacked!’
 The common hacks are E-mail accounts, password steal, taking you
social networking passwords to gain knowledge (Stockers!! )
Depending on the kind of hack you've been dealt, the treatment may
be as simple as logging in, and changing your settings and password.
Or it may entail agonizingly repeated attempts to lock out a persistent
hacker, potentially killing off your account altogether. But you should
never just give up and ditch the account without trying to deal with it
first.

7. 1. If you are able to log in, log in and change your password. Do a anti-
virus scan and spyware scan to make sure it’s safe. Then the next time is
to change your password regularly.
2. If you can’t log in, make sure your PC is current with OS updates and
anti-virus/malware software. Otherwise, if it has been infected by
malware that spies on you, it will continue to transmit your info to
whichever hacker has infiltrated your accounts. If you aren't completely
sure your PC is clean, then don't do any of the following. Any changes
you attempt to make could be forwarded on by malware, too.
3. Spammed by your hacked e-mail. (Your scam-savvy friends will recognize
bogus messages as spam.) But, if there is a personal appeal for money --
saying you're stuck traveling and need cash, or if malware was attached,
you should send word to your contact list to delete those messages ASAP.
4. Set up at least two new e-mail addresses. This is to separate your
accounts from important, to not important. So that if your hacked, not all
your information is gone.

8. 5. On a secure PC, log into your e-mail and then check whether or not any of
the settings have been changed by a hacker. Smart hackers may set your
account to notify them of any changes, so that they can go back in and
switch things again. Check whether or not a signature has been added,
and whether your account has been set to forward e-mail to another
address that isn't yours or to run a filter that automatically forwards e-
mails or attaches a file. If any of those settings have been altered, delete
the new settings.
6. Once you have changed the settings, create a new password, and add
your secondary e-mail account as your alternative address.

9. Hacking does not mean using your computing
skills to do bad. Society have forgotten the
difference between crackers and hackers.
Learning skills of hacking is only for the
greater good.
