1.A. Criminal Hackers- Criminal hackers installed special slave or zombie programs on poorly-secured computer systems. These slave programs were then ordered to attack the main victims using coded communications from the criminal hacker controlling them. The slave programs made the computers they were on send out thousands of messages to the victims’ computers, swamping their communications. No one else could get much of a response from the computers under attack.
B.Viruses-In computers, a virus is a program or programming code that replicates by being copied or initiating its copying to another program, computer boot sector or document.
C.Cookies- A cookie is information that a Web site puts on your hard disk so that it can remember something about you at a later time.
D.Spyware-Spyware is any technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge.
My Opinion
I believe Hacking is the worst beacuse when someone hacks into your personal information they can steal your software, database and anyother personal information that you try to keep private. It is evasion of privacy. Hacking" can be looked at as a collection of skills—like a locksmith's ability to pick locks.A hacker is usually a person who writes software programs in a special computer language. But the word hacker is also used to describe a person who tries to steal information from computer systems.
