Information is one of the biggest businesses in the world today, even among criminals. People called hackers have been around for decades. They break into computer systems to steal private information. They then use it for their own financial gain. Other people also make their living by hacking. But they do it legally. Professional computer hackers use their skills to keep others from becoming the victims of criminal hackers. Part of the series, They Do That for a Living?, Professional Computer Hackers explores the history of this unusual career, what it takes to join it, and where professional hacking is headed in the future.

They Do That for a Living? Series

Walking across the Grand Canyon on a highwire. Competing in slam poetry contests. Hacking into a private company’s computer network. Although they may seem strange to many people, these undertakings are indeed real-life jobs. They Do That for a Living? is a fun series that discusses some of the most unusual—but completely real—professions in the world today. Imagine helping people recover from injuries through horse riding, writing a book for a celebrity, or making video game characters spring to life with one’s voice. With striking color photographs, a fun Find Out More section, and a useful index, this series will tell kids all about exciting careers they didn’t realize existed—and perhaps even inspire a passion they never knew they had.
