- “In a recent survey it was reported that

90 percent of all businesses suffered some

sort of computer hack over the past 12

months and 77 percent of these companies

felt that they were successfully attacked

several times over the same period of time.

Since most attacks are a direct result of a

malware infection, small businesses need

to have some type of protection in place.”

Our

Opin

ion O

n

Hack

ing

- I think that hacking is an

extremely unnecessary action

that harms all the victims in a

very drastic way. - Hackers abuse their access to the

internet by invading individual’s

privacy- I believe that hacking is okay if

its used properly and if it doesn’t

affect an Individual - hacking is more about desire to

learn, explore and gain

knowledge. (ex: crackers and

virus writers want to expose as

much as they can about other’s

wrongdoings)
