'''Crackers''' are people who illegally access information on the internet which they usually would not have access to. Although almost all forms of hacking are highly illegal, there is often a distinction made between hackers who perform such actions for what they view as good causes (such as testing security systems or combatting cyber-terrorism) and crackers, those who use it for personal gain (such as stealing accounts, identity theft or in extreme cases trying to gain information on governments/military).
