Black Hat Hackers are a type of hackers who illegally access computer systems, without the owner's consent, in order to abuse and/or vandalize the system. While white hat hackers attempt to hack for the greater good black hat hackers are primarily focused on committing criminal activities such as identity theft, fraud, and vandalism.[1]
