Hacker groups are defined as informal communities that started forming in the early 1980s with the invention of the home computer. Hacking groups have been responsible for several major breaks of cyber security either fueled by social injustice or a need to wreak havoc on many different types of organizations.

know and label such people engaged in cyber-attacks as Hackers. More specifically, there are three categories of hackers: Black Hat, Gray Hat, and White Hat. For clarification from Larisa April Long(2012), White Hat hackers are the ethical hackers, who have authorization to seek out the same vulnerabilities that Black Hats look for and either simply inform the owner of the system’s flaw or design the security to protect the system. Gray Hat hackers will not exploit vulnerabilities found in a system like
responsibility, they deny injury, deny that there is a victim, they condemn the condemners, and appeal to higher loyalties. Hackers are an exclusive and new form of deviance.

Denial of Injury is one of the techniques they use according to the author; hackers do not believe they are not hurting anyone or that the harm is insignificant.

Subsequently, this information is lost due to hackers gaining access to forbidden information. This is just another
Hackers often a get rap from the public and the media. They often commit an illegal act to obtain and release information that should not normally be out in the public. In the Ashley Madison case, the hackers sought to shut down the adultery site. The hackers also had information that would damage the site and its’ user. This information was used as leverage as the hackers made their demands. Adultery and cheating is wrong by all means, but that does not give these hackers the right to engage in
Security analysing. A Professional hacker is someone who works for an IT firm, cybersecurity companies, and even the government. The function of a professional hacker is to use an array of hostile attacks such as: phishing, keylogging, modification attacks, denial of service attacks, email address hacking, cookie stealing, website hacking, javascripts, and brute force methods to find holes in the security of government and private servers.

terrorism especially in the hacking community. The most well-known hacker group “Anonymous” and the “Ghost Security Group” decided to take action into their own hands. Some people are not supporting the hacker groups especially the government officials because they feel these groups are going overboard with their tactics.

high-profile cases against hackers happened in 1983, when the FBI arrested six Milwaukee teens collectively known as “414s”, named after the area code of the city.

“Deviance is the violation of social norms that a society agrees upon” (Bélanger, 2014). In the trailer for The Fifth Estate, Julian Assange is a computer hacker and is the main character who deviates the norms of the society’s organization. In my opinion, I would describe the actions of WikiLeaks as a form of deviance because deviance is linked to the social power. Social power is the capability to attain goals while the others decide to compete against those goals. The society is built on power

Perfect Blue does not pose its arguments through the analogy of the high-tech cyborg, but rather via the breakdown of the mind, viewing self-identity through a lens of psychopathology. While, in the world of Ghost in the Shell, programmers and hackers present the very real threat of mind hacking, the contemporary setting of Perfect Blue offers a more subtle yet even more terrifying form of manipulation: the idea of your own mind rebelling against yourself. Throughout the movie, Kon hints at themes
I went to the Monroe Civic Center and saw “The Art of Deception”. When my friends and I first got there the hall was slightly pack and it was actually difficult trying to find a seat. The fist I noticed on stage was that he had 5 laptops set up on a table and he also had one phone. After we found a seat the light dimmed and a video started to play. The video was very interesting because it gave us some background information on Kevin Mitnick. I didn’t know that he actually went to jail for some of
L.1 ATTACK TECHNIQUES This section covers the attack techniques employed by social engineers (white hats) or evil-minded persons (black hats) using social engineering techniques.Breaching the security of an organization generally starts with the bad guy obtaining seemingly a very innocent, daily and trivial information or a document, which many persons in the organization see no reasons to protect or classify.

The Matrix was a sci-fi action film that came out in 1999.
