Discussion
The term ______ refers to an individual, who breaks into computer systems without authorization, deliberately defaces Web sites for fraudulent purpose.
Answer: C
The term is cracker.
A cracker is a person who breaks into computer systems without authorisation with malicious or criminal intent, for example to steal data, deface websites or commit fraud. The term was coined to distinguish such people from hackers in the original sense of skilled programmers who explore systems out of curiosity.
A white hat is an ethical hacker who tests systems with permission to find and fix weaknesses. 'Hacker' is the general term and does not by itself imply criminal intent in the sense the question draws. Stacker was a disk compression program, not a kind of intruder.
