Hacking groups are organized collectives of individuals who use their technical skills to exploit computer systems and networks. These groups can have various motivations, including political activism, financial gain, or simply the challenge of breaking into secure systems. Some well-known hacking groups include Anonymous and Lizard Squad, each with distinct goals and methods. These groups often operate in secrecy and can be found worldwide, utilizing the internet to communicate and coordinate their activities. While some hacking groups focus on ethical hacking to improve security, others engage in malicious activities, such as data theft or cyberattacks on organizations and governments.
