As with time, while we developed the technology and we are keeping busy like a bee, we
have been able to drastically evolve and improve the level of technology. But with the evolution
of technology, it also left behind, its residue and that has turned out to be the vulnerability
and the loops of the technology which could lead to a situation of hacking, where the important
information and data might be accessed in the purpose of theft, modification or destruction
etc. So, these hackers turned to be the troubled-genius of the information systems where they
can combat and breach the enabled security in your device and can leave you mugged.
