Here are discussed questions like: Who are the hackers? Why do people hack? Law aspects of hacking, as well as some economic issues connected with hacking.

The aim of the article is to make readers familiar with the possible risks of hacker's attacks on the mobile phones and on possible attacks in the announced flood of the internet of things (next IoT) devices.
