Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question that follows. Write A, B, C, or D on
your answer sheet.
As computer use becomes more common, the need for security is more important than ever.
One of the greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking. Computer hacking is
the unauthorized access to a computer or network of computers. Hackers are people who illegally
enter systems. They may alter or delete information, steal private information, or spread viruses that
can damage or destroy files. But how exactly can a hacker get into a system to do these things?
Most hackers use information called protocols that are built into computer software. These
protocols allow computers to interact with one another. Protocols are sort of like computer police
officers. When a computer connects to another system, the protocols check to see if the access is
valid. The protocols can also determine how much information can be shared between the two
systems. Hackers can manipulate the protocols to get unlimited access to a computer system.
In fact, just the act of entering a computer network is considered hacking. This is commonly
called passive hacking. Passive hackers get a rush from just being able to access a challenging
system like a bank or military network. Another kind of hacker tries to do damage to a system.
After hacking into systems, these hackers release viruses or alter, delete, or take information.
Known as active hackers, they are, by far, the more dangerous of the two.
The easiest way to protect a system is with a good password. Long and unusual passwords
are harder for hackers to guess. For even greater security, some online services now use
"passwordplus" systems. In this case, users first put in a password and then put in a second code that
changes after the user accesses the site. Users either have special cards or devices that show them
the new code to use the next time. Even if a hacker steals the password, they won't have the code.
Or if the hacker somehow gets the code, they still don't know the password.
