Currently, a hacker is defined as aperson using computers to explore a network to which he or she did not belong. Hackers find new ways to harass people,defraud corporations, steal information and maybe even destroy valuable information by infiltrating private and non-private organizations.According to recent research, bad hackers make up only a small minority of thehacker community. In today’s society, we depend on more technology than everand that increases the likelihood of hackers having more control overcyberspace. Hackerswork by collecting information on the intended target, figuring out the bestplan of attack and then exploiting vulnerabilities in the system. Programs suchas Trojan horses and Flame viruses are designed and usedby hackers to get access to computer networks. This paper described how hackerbehavior is aimed at information security and what measures are being taken tocombat them.
