How Big Companies Get Hacked?

Big companies get hacked when someone sneaks into their secret vault and takes away important stuff like passwords or money.

Imagine your toy box is a big company’s vault, and all your toys are like the company's secrets. Now, think of a hacker as a clever kid who wants to take your favorite toy without you noticing. They might hide in the closet (like a sneaky friend) and wait for the perfect moment to grab the toy.

Hackers use keys or tricks to get into the vault. Sometimes they find a broken lock and fix it, like when you use a paperclip to open a locker at school. Other times, they trick someone inside the vault into giving them a key, just like how a friend might borrow your toy if you're not looking.

Once inside, hackers can steal or change things in the vault. They might take all the toys (like stealing customer information) or even replace some with fake ones (like changing passwords to lock people out).

Sometimes the company doesn’t notice until later, just like when you realize your toy is missing after a whole day of play!
