Are hacker groups real and if they are what can they do?

Everything can be hacked, bypassed and bruteforced, it takes the right mind set, dedication, and proper certification unless you like prison time or say you're hiding in a foreign country...

Your passwords are simple, that's why there's now two step authentication on almost every account.

learn how to code and understand a Linux distrobution and you'll learn how to hack.

The government has trained and certified professionals sworn to protect and serve this great country from black / grey hat hackers, terrorists, predators, killers and more.

Hacking is real and hacking is illegal without the proper approval, this is why most hacker groups are constantly on the move or flee to a foreign country to avoid getting imprisoned and fined for their illegal acts.

Hacking takes a lot reconnaissance, and it's not worth it to do illegally...

I'm sure you've heard of the NSA...they'll never reveal themselves when tracking criminals, they stay anonymous...by relaying the info to local authorities to further investigate...

As for the group anonymous everyone seems so hyped up about, a myth...an imaginary idol hackers prolong for...

What can hackers do:

Almost anything....The number is growing thinner everyday thanks to intelligent agencies...I would advice you to set up two step authentication on any and all online accounts connected to the internet...antiviruses today are easily bypassed by encrypted viruses.

of course they are real...and they can do lots of things that we cannot do for example, sometimes hackers can take control of someones computer over internet, or they can hack a website and change its contents, or they can break into your email address and read out your inbox or even compose a message from your email address to anyone.. hackers are even found involved in breaking online banking systems and stealing funds...etc etc but thats just what i know has really happened. although there are lots of other good jobs that hackers are doing

Let's think about this for a second. Your first sentence states that you don't believe hacking is true. Given the ubiquity of hacking in our modern pop culture and the obvious jokes you must hear on a regular basis about hacking, do you really believe it's fake? You know, there ARE actually people out there who paid attention in school and got jobs, and some of them are now IT professionals, who spend their time coding, rather than posting stupid **** to Yahoo ******* Answers instead of googling it.

Now, given that you seem to be an ingloriously stupid bastard, I would like to inform you that we have LAWS. Given that we have proved that hacking is real, LAWS, for those of you out there who clearly haven't gone past the second grade like this guy, are RULES, which protect people and their rights. SO, even if companies COULD hack others, which you don't seem to believe, there would be LAWS, which the (in your opinion, omnipotent) government enforces.

For your second "sentence". You said you don't believe hacking is real. SO HOW THE EVERLOVING **** DO YOU KNOW THAT COMPANIES MAKE HACKING EASY TO DO???? WHY THE **** WOULD GOVERNMENTS BE THE ONLY ONES HACKING AND WHY WOULDN'T HACKER GROUPS BE REAL???

If you really want to know if hackers are real and what they do, post your credit card number online, on the off chance that you have one.

Either way, I'm sure you're about to find out what hacker groups can do, because one day, Anonymous is going to see how stupid you are and do something about it.

Organized criminals like the Beagle Boys always trying to rob extremely wealthy Scrooge McDuck's money bin.

Watch the TV series 'CSI Cyber' if you want to see what people can do I guarantee you would be amazed
