haking means intenttially gaining unauthorised access to a computer system.
the term "hacker" has changed over the last 40 years:
1960s-1970s a hacker is a clever and creative programmer; not destructive; harmless
1970s-1990s hacking starts to become negative; breaking into large computer systems e.g. Govt agencies; spreading viruses; stealing/changing information. also phone phreaking (using phone systems illugally)
1990s-today Hackers exploit the vulnerability of the Internet; very destructive; disrupetive; involving organised crime; increased risk for e-commerce.
