Kata hacktivism adalah kombinasi dari hacking dan aktivisme. Hacktivist adalah seseorang yang menggunakan penetrasi sistem untuk menyebarkan pesam politik, sosial, atau pesan keagamaan. 
Sasaran orang-orang tersebut sebagian besar adalah server Web di mana banyak orang mungkin melihat pesan mereka.
Tingkat seperti hacktivist sering disebut sebagi Script Kiddie. Karena seluruh latihan ini dilakukan untuk mempromosikan pesan dan bukan untuk menyerang sistem, maka proses penetrasi itu sendiri bukanlah minat khusus ke hacktivist.
Ini berlaku untuk sebagian besar hacktivism. Akhir-akhir ini, khususnya dalam konflik antara Amerika Serikat dan Cina, hacktivism memperoleh wajah baru. Kelompok atau individu hacker mulai dari script kiddies dan cracker untuk Black Hats mulai menyerang dan mengotori situs Cina. Halaman Web organisasi politik di Afghanistan menjadi target selama ratusan penyerang paska serangan teroris di World Trade Center dan Pentagon di September, 2001.
The latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser contains a bug that can enable serious security attacks against websites that are otherwise safe.The flaw in IE 8 can be exploited to introduce XSS, or cross-site scripting, errors on webpages that are otherwise safe, according to two Register sources, who discussed the bug on the condition they not be identified. Microsoft was notified of the vulnerability a few months ago, they said.
Ironically, the flaw resides in a protection added by Microsoft developers to IE 8 that's designed to prevent XSS attacks against sites. The feature works by rewriting vulnerable pages using a technique known as output encoding so that harmful characters and values are replaced with safer ones. A Google spokesman confirmed there is a "significant flaw" in the IE 8 feature but declined to provide specifics.
