hacking











hacking can be as little as changing the controls of a video game to as big as stealing top secret information from the government. hacking can be harmless or it can get you put in jail for the rest of your life. hacking is no laughing matter. when you hack a video game its not that big a deal because all it really does is make people not like you but once you start hacking online accounts and tampering with them then you could really endanger people because if you tamper with the persons account and reveal information about the actual person you could give a stalker all the information hes needs or if people extremely dislike that person they could potentially kill the person or severely injure that person. if YouTube required peoples personal information i bet half the people on YouTube would be being stalked or something but either way i wouldn't want something to happen to anyone because someone hacked their Internet account and handed out that persons personal information. also when people hack an account associated with a credit card the hacker can steal the persons credit card information and cheat by getting free money. also when hackers hack a persons account the hacker can steal the persons identity and try to get a credit card under the persons name or try to get a loan for something and usually its too late by the time the person notices that they have to pay off a loan or a credit card that they never even saw. also one way to prevent hackers from accessing your accounts is by having extremely complex passwords that could take months to decode and change the password every 3 to 4 months. i know so far most of this blog hasn't been about cheating directly but in a way it is how the hackers themselves cheat at life just to make someone they could have never met miserable. also there are hackers that are professional and they spend thousands of dollars on equipment so they are very hard to catch. these professional hackers sometimes are hired by people who need information from a government data base that they cant get to personally. and sometimes the government hires hackers to rat out other hackers because they know what the other hackers are doing, but also hackers can be hired by terrorists and the hackers could launch missiles at certain places for the terrorists.
