A person stealing computer-stored information in an unauthorized manner is called :

  • A.Hacker
  • B.Virus
  • C.Processor
  • D.Editor

Answer: A

Such a person is called a hacker.

In the sense used here, a hacker is a person who gains unauthorised access to a computer system or network, for example to steal stored data such as passwords, financial records or personal information. (Security specialists distinguish such criminal hackers from 'ethical hackers' who test systems with permission.)

A virus is a malicious program, not a person. A processor is the computer's central processing unit, and an editor is either a program for editing text or a person who edits content. None describes someone stealing data.
