What is Cyber Criminal?
Cybercrime is one who breaks the security system of the computer and steals the complete data of a person is known as cybercrime. There are various types of hackers but I would like to share only three types which are as follows:
- White Hat Hacker
- Black Hat Hacker
- Grey Hat Hacker
White Hat Hacker
Basically, the white hat hackers are also known as an ethical hacker or legal hacker. Such kind of hackers used their skills as positive work and also help the organization to secure the system. They hack with the permission of the organization owner. majority of organizations hire the white hat hacker on contract as a security specialist and paid money. Even they are professionally verified and there are ethical courses as well. They used their knowledge to secure the system for the organization.
Black Hat Hacker
Black hat hackers are also known as crackers and they are little different from white hat hackers. Because black hat hackers have done such hacking activity in an illegal way which is a crime. They hack any data or steal money or credit card password. Even they don’t have permission for this. In short, they used their knowledge for bad.
Grey Hat Hacker
Such kind of hacker is not white nor black. We can also translate grey hat hacker as a gray hat hacker. Such hacker never harms any person with their hacking not even they steal. Such kind of hacker can only hack something only for fun not to violate someone. But still, such activity is illegal.
