The web is huge that so many things can explore but not everything general public can access so hackers appeared. In real life, we have “White Hat Hackers”. Frankly speaking, white hackers are doing something good though hacking. We are having the permission of the company to do the hacking and protect the web of the company. On the other hand, we also have “Black Hat Hackers”.
Black Hat Hackers using the hacking skills to do the “bad things”. They could hack into someone computer and steal information like the password, bank information or anything people store inside the computer. The may sell it on “deep web”. Besides doing the profitable action, they may break down the government website maliciously, steal the government confidential information and disclose to the public. It is an illegal activity.
For the general public, everyone needs to be careful when using the internet or the own devices. The hackers are anonymous, they may use the hacking skill on anyone for no reason. It is really not that safe to store the important data (passwords, ID, bank accounts etc.) on the device, even you are no upload online when you have connected to the Internet the hacker can still hack into your device and get the information on what they want.
So be careful, someone may be watching you now.

Love how you ended it with “someone maybe watching you now”. Indeed we are probably being spied on right now. But I think all we can do is to be mindful of what we are doing and we should be clear of troubles.

There are many examples showing the effectiveness of black hat hackers; they are threatening users. Cathay Pacific Airways has exposed 9.4 million customers’ personal information due to the hacking. We should always be mindful while browsing the Internet.
