Hacker

A hacker is an individual with advanced technical skills who manipulates computer systems and networks. There are different types of hackers: "white hat" hackers use their skills to enhance security by identifying and fixing vulnerabilities; "black hat" hackers exploit these weaknesses for malicious purposes such as data theft or financial gain. "Gray hat" hackers fall somewhere in between, often exposing security flaws without permission but not necessarily for personal gain. In the context of crypto/fiat exchanges, hackers may target systems to steal digital assets or disrupt services. Understanding hacker behavior is crucial for safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining system integrity.
