What is Hacking ? Definition from AZTechPoint

Hacking is when someone breaks into a computer system.

They break in by going around the usual security, like passwords, and getting in to the computer system via a different route to the official one.

It's a bit like breaking into a house, but finding a different way in other than the front door.

For example, they might want to steal information about customers or to stop an organisation from being able to run properly.

The fact that so many companies all around the world are on the internet makes it easier for hackers to break into systems like this, as so many people are now connected online
