Ethical hackers also called white-hat hackers are those hackers paid by enterprises and expose vulnerability of the organisation with its knowledge.They are security professionals. While Hackers are hackers are unauthorized users who break into computer systems in order to steal, change or destroy information, often by installing dangerous malware without your knowledge or consent. Their clever tactics and detailed technical knowledge help them access the information you really don't want them to have
