Title: Hacker

Number of words: 350

Technology has provided us many facilities in most fields in our life, but there are those who misused it, such as hackers. Hacker is considered one of the operations that is based on penetrating operating systems, networks, or programs. And these penetrations vary according to its purpose, and its purpose may be political, economic or social.

There were several motives for using the hacker started from its positive use in designing programs until they used the second face of it such as violating the privacy of people through their accounts in social media platforms, this violation aims to reveal the private pictures of people and the secrets of their conversations with their friends through these applications. The motives for using hackers is also for political purposes, and these hackers are often used by some politicians to spy on other politicians or a specific country to find out some hidden secrets.

All the motives that I had mentioned have results that vary between moral and social. The consequences of violating the privacy of people are the exposure of these people to blackmail, especially females, which leads to defamation of people who have been blackmailed, and this may expose them to social pressures by the community and causes them embarrassing societal situations. As for political purposes, these results are represented in exposing countries or politicians that have been spied on by these hackers, and these scandals may lead to the suspension of relations between the countries or the politicians.

There are many efforts made by some companies that own some social media platforms to protect user accounts from hacking, such as two-step verification, where a user-specific code is sent through which he can back to it in case his account has been hacked through various social media platforms.

But in my opinion, I think that the security precautions which has done by companies that own social media applications are insufficient, so it is necessary to spread awareness among members of society to secure their accounts and not mention all their personal data on these platforms to avoid hacking accounts by the hackers
