Hacking involves gaining unauthorized access to computer systems and networks for illegal purposes. It requires understanding the security systems to exploit weaknesses. While hacking seems difficult, anyone can do it with knowledge of computers and how to plant viruses via email to steal information from targeted devices and send it to the hacker. Spyware gathers private information through installed code and sends it back to the user online. Those seeking help with hacking can contact an organization that provides tutorials and hacking assistance.
