We are now in very much advanced digital age.  The technology that has been enhanced through time and being taught to schools and universities.  Some people even at early age who has the brain of an adult genius sometimes tends to become super genius but only to use it in some illegal activities such as hacking.  Why would you suffer from working in a prestige company but the take home pay may not be sufficient, when you can be rich by doing the thing you mastered the most?  This could be the possibility why there are hackers everywhere, around the world.  It all started I guess from making viruses for the computers, to disable soft wares and programs.  Then interfering the access of private accounts of classified information up to cracking the codes and pins of monetary accounts to steal from small to big amount of money.  What ever we do, what ever science or technology brings us, how ever every country's government does, these hackers will stay and would stay forever doing what they do best and that is hacking.
