Oral Presentation

HACKING - ORAL PRESENTATION!!!!!!!!!!! :) :D :P XD ;) 

The past few weeks we were given an oral presentation to do. We were given two options, and I chose to do the second option, which was, Hacking. We were told what was needed to put on our slides, they were, 3 hacking terms, positive consequences of hacking, negative consequences of and as well as research about a hacker!

It was that i learnt new things, for example grey hat hackers, who they are, and what they are for?
