White Hat Hackers
A Brief History of Hacking
White-hat hackers are ethical hackers that are typically authorized to tests systems with explicit permission. Their actions are legal as they identify and repair possible weakness in a companies systems.
Hacking started off as playful; however, as the public started using computers, we saw a rise in hacking. From it curious roots, hacking now threatens individual and company cyber security.

Ethical Vs. Unethical Hacking
Grey-hat hackers are in-between a white-hat and black-hat hackers. They do not have explicit permission to access a system; however, rather than using the access for malicious purposes, they coerce companies into acting (think hacktivist).

Ethical hacking is when someone has permission to break through a system to test for vulnerabilities, like penetration testing. An unethical hacker does not have authorization and proceeds on their own volition.
Hackings Impact on Cybersecurity
Black Hat Hackers
Black-hat actors are what we typically think of when we think of hackers. They do not have authorized permission like grey-hat hackers, and they do have malicious intent. Black-hat hackers typically attack for personal gain.
Hacking started out of curiosity; however, it now plays a vital role in cybersecurity. Hackers have developed tools and techniques to find vulnerabilities in an individual or companies’ system. They may then steal data or hold it for ransom. As the methods of hackers have become mor sophisticated, so have the defensive strategies. White hat hackers test for vulnerabilities to protect systems.
