Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new technology, which one of the reasons it is often poorly understood and reported. Many computers, but no means all, are now linked together in networks which allow users on one computer to communicate with others on the same network. If a computer is not networked, no manipulation of its data from another machine is possible. So long as users are authorized, networking is just a way of making work easier and more productive. Hacking on the other hand, is the unauthorized use of networks or unauthorized entity into the computers themselves. Most people do not need to break into the networks they use, since they are already accredited users.

Most hackers are authorized to break into networks (True/False/Can't say)
Computers are only vulnerable to the unauthorized manipulation of their data via another computer if they are networked (True/False/Can't say)
The main reason why it is relatively easy to break into a computer is that few people understand the technology. (True/False/Can't say)
Hackers do not work for the firms whose networks they break into. (True/False/Can't say)
