Description:

In our connected world, enormous amounts of personal information travel invisibly across the internet every single day — and not everyone who encounters that data has good intentions. Who are hackers, and why do some of them steal what doesn't belong to them? What exactly is data, and why is it so valuable? And is there anyone out there working to stop them? Black Hats White Hats introduces young readers to the fascinating and very real world of cybersecurity through accessible, engaging storytelling. Black hat hackers break into systems with harmful or selfish intent, while white hat hackers use the very same skills to protect people and patch up vulnerabilities before damage is done. Published by Pratham Books as part of their science story series and illustrated by Hitesh Sonar, this thought-provoking picture book makes an increasingly important topic approachable and exciting for curious young readers taking their first steps into understanding the digital world around them.
