Today we're going to talk about hackers and their strategies for breaking into computer systems. Now, not all hackers are are malicious cybercriminals intent on stealing your data (these people are known as Black Hats). There are also White Hats that hunt for bugs, close security holes, and perform security evaluations for companies. And there are a lot of different motivations for hackers - sometimes just amusement or curiosity, sometimes for money, and sometimes to promote a social or political goals. Regardless, we're not going to teach you how to become a hacker in this episode but we are going to walk you through some of the strategies hackers use to gain access to your devices so you can be better prepared to keep your data safe.
