History of Hacking: 

History of Hacking “Hacker” was originally a positive term for a person who was very skilled with computers and their programming systems. In the 1980’s government started a crackdown on computer hacking. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act law was created to reduce the hacking of computer systems. Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) was created by U.S. defense to investigate the attacks on computer networks. In the 1990’s Federal web sites are now the new target for the elite hackers. In the late 1990’s hackers are able to “crack” military and governmental codes. In the early 2000’s viruses and spamming are introduced.
