Yago wanted to use his computer skills to earn extra cash and support his
family. But something went horribly wrong: his teacher, the greatest hacker
in the country, is accused of a crime he didn't commit-and an innocent girl
is blackmailed. Thus begin the adventures in Hackerteen.
You know that the Internet is amazing because it opens up new worlds,
but not all of them are safe. While you're communicating with your friends,
you could be leaving yourself open to viruses, identity theft, and all the
creeps on the Web. You need to know what you're doing and-more
importantly-what other people are up to!
As you follow Yago and his hacker buddies in their fight against crackers,
the bad guys of the internet world, you'll learn
* How Internet technologies work
* How some people try to hurt others online
* Key ways to protect yourself
* How people can work together on the Internet
to make the world a better place
You have a choice: be a victim of the skeezers or be part of the solution.
Fight back with Hackerteen!
