Hacking or “unauthorized computer access” is known as knowingly accessing any computer, computer system or network without permission or a contract from the said computer, computer system or network owners. It’s usually a misdemeanour, punishable by law.
However, not all hackers or hackings are bad. There are some who hack for fun, meaning no ill intent towards anyone, those who hack by contract from the said network or computer’s company and no who hack for nefarious reasons.
Kevin Mitnick is currently leading the hacking world as the best hacker in the world.
Who is the youngest hacker in the world?
Kristoffer von Hassel who was born in 2009 (currently just 13 years old) is the world’s youngest known hacker.
He is quite popular for being the youngest security researcher, to be listed on Microsoft’s Security Techcenter to have successfully exposed a security vulnerability.
This makes him the youngest hacker in the world currently but not the youngest person to have hacked a system. There is, of course, Walter O’Brien, who hacked NASA at the young age of 11.
