A lot of people don' clearly understand the difference between black hat,grey hat and white hat. So let me tell you my view on the things.
Black hat hacker is a person who breaks the law. It doesn't matter what exactly he is doing or to who. If he is breaking the law, he is a black hat and he is a criminal.Breaking in to computer if you are not ask by the owner is illegal and makes you a black hat. Stealing personal data too.
White hat hacker is a person who obeys the law. Yes, he too hacks in to computers but only for security testing. He will not steal you data or use your computer for bad "stuff".
Grey hat hacker is a combination of a Black Hat and a White Hat Hacker. It is hard to define this class of hackers. Grey hat does good and bad things, some times legal others no so.
This is how i see things. If you don't agreed, feel free to write a comment.
