Is hacking ethical or unethical?

Question

Could someone tell me whether the hacking is ethical or unethical?

Answer 1

Hacking is all about discovering the weakness of a network system and exploiting that to steal confidential or sensitive data for personal or economic gains.

Well, hacking is approached in two ways, one is unethical hacking conducted by Black Hat Hackers who penetrate into systems unauthorized for economic or personal gains.

While there are ethical hackers who are also called as white hat hackers, are authorized by the organization or institutions whom they hired to assess the strength and the weakness of the network systems so to prevent any threat agent from compromising their network safety.
