What is hacking? What is meant by hack?
The term “hack” was first used by US university computing center staff in the mid-1960s. The context determined whether the complimentary or derogatory meanings were implied. Phrases such as “ugly hack” or “quick hack” generally referred to the latter meaning (derogatory); phrases such as “cool hack” or “neat hack”, to the former (complimentary). In modern computer programming, a “hack” can refer to a solution or method which functions correctly but which is “ugly” in its concept, which works outside the accepted structures and norms of the environment, or which is not easily extendable or maintainable.
A person doing hacking is known as a hacker. Hacking doesn’t refer only to computer hacking. Hacking can be done in mobile telephony, computers, electronic gadgets.
Mobile hacking can be done easily through bluetooth technology. The things we needed are a laptop, an antenna and a suitable software. A mobile phone hacker can take a laptop in which a suitable software is installed for hacking and an antenna attached to the laptop in a suitcase and will come around in a place where crowd is there. Actually, what the laptop does is, it will detect the mobile phones or laptop which’s bluetooth is switched on. The antenna will connect the laptop of the hacker to the other people’s (innocent’s) devices (whose bluetooth is switched on). The software will work on breaking the authentication of the innocent’s devices. Then all the data from the other people will automatically saved in the laptop of the hacker. Data such as your sim card detail can also be obtained by the hacker. Its not a more technical stuff which can’t be understood. Its simply a tricky one.
So switch off your Bluetooth when not in use.
