Script kiddie, Shadow IT, Hacktivism, White-hat (Definition & Impact)

Script Kiddie

Definition and Characteristics:

A script kiddie is an individual who uses existing computer scripts or codes to hack into computers, networks, or websites, without understanding the underlying concepts or mechanisms. These individuals typically lack the advanced knowledge or skills of professional hackers and rely on pre-written tools and scripts to carry out their activities. The term is often used pejoratively to describe amateur hackers who pose a security threat due to their lack of expertise and understanding of the potential consequences of their actions.
