Unlawful access to devices, systems, data, applications, accounts or others without obtaining official permission from the owner or the competent authorities. Hacking is a violation of the rights to privacy, data protection and private property. It can be carried out for many reasons such as theft, extortion, revenge, tracking activists or others.
