Hacking is an act of penetrating computer systems, the accumulation of knowledge about systems and about how they operate. Hacking is a condemned act, which is commonly known as a cyber crime. Hacking has become common especially in the past few decades, which has given rise to people and organizations being more conscious about protecting their systems and keeping it secure.

Most companies refuse to report the attacks to avoid a negative impact on advertising.
