Blackhat

A black hat hacker is an individual who engages in unauthorized activities with the intent to exploit computer systems, networks, or software for personal gain, financial profit, or malicious purposes. Unlike ethical hackers or white hat hackers, who work to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities, black hat hackers use their skills to compromise systems for illegal activities such as stealing sensitive information, disrupting services, spreading malware, or committing fraud.
