Which movie? Hackers 1 or 2? 2 is based on a true story and 1 was a ballof crap and made no sense.

Im not a hacker, but hacking doesn't refer to breaking into government archives or things like that anymore. It's more like reverse engineering and breaking down programs and hardware. In the world today it is hard to breaking in to anything thats worth it. Security has increased to a point that hacking server is just sending signals that trick the servers into giving you information (like yahoo or hotmail), finding glitches or mis-haps.

Spyware attached to email or planted on your PC is another thing that can be a problem. They can send information about you computer to the internet, like cookies which can contain passwords and other information. The internet is a huge network and if your on it, you can be vulnerable.
