Hackers

Who are hackers? Sometimes hackers are used for accountants or banking companies for buissness reasons. The hacking will alow the buissnesses to look at the records and documents concerning the bankers account. On the other hand there is also the common man who hacks into computers for pure entertainment and also sometimes so they can just download the software that computer has so they are not entitled to pay for it.

According to the hackers, why do they hack? Some said just for the attention and it is a social value of the pranks. This is sometimes what they can call their hobby and what they enjoy doing on there free time.

Do you think they are serving the Interent community in a helpful or hurtful way? I think you can consider it both ways. The people who use it for entertainment and to use and download other peoples software that they purchased I think is wrong and unneeded in our society. The acccontants and bankers are using it to simply check on and become more informed of their clients and I think that would be the only way hacking could benefit the internet community.

If I was hacked and was aware of it, I would report it immideately to the FBI for futher investigation.
The local FBI is:
FBI Springfield
900 East Linton Avenue
Springfield, Illinois 62703
springfield.fbi.gov
(217) 522-9675

The Crime Complaints Center (IC3's) mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations. For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level, IC3 provides a central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related crimes.
