Protection From Hackers and Viruses
Hacking and System Security
Hacking means accessing a computer system and its files without permission. It is illegal, and once inside the system, the hacker might be able to view, copy, or delete important files or plant a virus. Organizations protect themselves using passwords, encrypting files, and using hacking-detection software.
