The black hat hacker
 - A black hat is the villain or bad guy.
 - The phrase is often used in computing slang,
where it refers to a computer security hacker
who breaks into networks or computers, or
creates computer viruses.
 - Unlike a white hat hacker, the black hat
hacker takes advantage of the break-in,
perhaps destroying files or stealing data for
some future purpose.
- The black hat hacker may also make the
exploit known to other hackers and/or the
public without notifying the victim. This gives
others the opportunity to exploit the
vulnerability before the organization is able to
secure it.
  - The term comes from old Western movies,
where heroes often wore white hats and the
"bad guys" wore black hats.
The white hat hackers
  - A white hat hacker breaks security for non-
malicious reasons, perhaps to test their own
security system. The term "white hat" in
Internet slang refers to an ethical hacker.

 - This classification also includes individuals
who perform penetration tests and
assessments within a contractual agreement.
