Introduction
In The Matrix, Keanu Reeves plays Neo, a freedom fighter who hacks into a simulated reality created by machines, to free humans. In this instance, hackers are the good guys.
The reality however, can be the opposite.
Hackers are often responsible for online crimes that range from online vandalism to theft of personal data. As such, online security has become a pressing issue in modern societies, where Internet use is widespread.
