Hacking

By Maximilian Morgenbesser


Of course, I´m sure that hacking should be forbidden. However, it´s nearly impossible to do this because of the huge knowledge of those people. Nowadays more and more people have computers and lots of them don´t care about the savety of their computers. So they are an easy prey.
However, it´s a moral dilemma, if people don´t mind doing damage on other people. I mean, how would you feel if this happens to you. The only word that describes hackers is “criminal”. In my opinion, this is an offense against your privacy. These days there is a privacy of correspondence written in the law. So the state tries to save our privacy. However, hackers don´t respect this privacy. That´s why I´m of the opinion that hacking is criminal.
On the other hand, it isn´t just an offense against your privacy but it´s also a kind of theft. If a server is hacked, hackers are able to steal thousands of dollars so hackers can be said to be thiefs, robbers and – above all – criminals.

Hacking is not only a word for computer criminality. A hacker also could be a brilliant software engineer or an ingenious problem solver. The hacker could be a human who knew more about software than any other software user!

Unfortunately there are some criminal users who are testing how fare they could go. For example they try to infiltrate a bank and sadly they get it.

On the one hand the hacker means a bad computer guy but on the other hand he is a generous engineer. The “Hacker” is a guy with many prejudices and they are often without cause.

I think hacking is cool when it is legal (like testing net security in your company). When the criminal side gets to day I would turn off the computer! Nobody should forget that some software programs are not able do develop without such extraordinary guys!

I am going to tell you my opinion about hackers. I think that those hackers are computer-specialists. But not in a good way. Hackers can read all you private documents und also destroy your pc or even whole pc-systems. Many people think that hackers are cool but hackers are also criminals like for example murderers. And nobody thinks that murderers are cool. So if you think about that you know hackers are bad and not cool.

Hackers seem to be cool. But Are They really?
Most of the people think that being a hacker must be very interesting.
But in reality hackers can destroy our computer-systems.
And they look in all our private things. So if we think about that, than we know that hackers are not so cool as they seem to be. Hackers are also criminals and they aren’t cool, are they? I personally think that hackers are bad guys.
