Hacker, many people think the same thing once they hear this word, the first thing that comes to your mind is of a lifeless person trying with all his might to break into your home computer or at a federal site. A hacker can mean more: it can be a person who is trying to crack a game and improve it or it can simply be a person who wants to know the details of how a computer works. The term hacker first originated in Massachusetts. Institute of Technology “MIT” in the early 1960s. had nothing to do with computers when the word was first used at MIT, students invented it to describe the two types of students they believed existed: the first was a "TOOL" and the second was a " Hackers" (Harvey ). A “TOOL” was used to describe a student who will always get top grades and is always in class and when he is on break or out of class you can easily find him in a library. And a "HACKER" was a student who was never in class and slept all day and preferred to do anything else at night rather than study, in other words the exact opposite as a "tool" was a person who had to carefully examine a nocturnal hobby and devoted himself to it (Harvey). Which can actually sum up a hacker right now because he is someone who will most likely rest during the day and start his hobby at night. Then again at MIT in 1986 the term was used as it got older, this time to define hackers who were people who go and access roofs or tunnels that they were not authorized to be in (Harvey). Now there is a hacker for almost everything that can be used electronically, for example there is a hacker for phones, cable TV boxes, people who hack ATMs and cards and the infamous computer hackers. The phone is...... middle of paper ...... has not been hacked because they will not know that their security defense is not good and they will have to learn the hard way by getting hacked and trying to find out why it is happened and how it happened. The government is also hiring hackers found guilty of cyber threats such as hacking into government websites like the FBI and even some computers on Army bases. And the government will hire them and pardon their charges so they can help them strengthen their security by trying to hack into their security systems and telling them how to fix them. So, ultimately, we need hackers to help the government against threats and also to help businesses in trying to help them get the best protection possible so that they don't get hacked and get charged large sums of money by phone hackers or hackers who take control of their systems and ask for money to return it.
