Another type of hacking is cell phone or cloning. Cloning of cell phones basically means that a person that already has a cellular phone can purchase a second phone and have it programmed for the same number. This avoids paying charges for having two phones. There are web pages that advertise this sort of business. Companies that engage in this practice claim that it is perfectly legal.
Satellites are another type of hacking.
On the black market, one can buy a special chip that fits into your satellite receiver which allows you to receive channels illegally. A company in Texas last year devised a plan to stop this type of hacking. The station sent out a signal that supposedly burnt out all of the illegal chips. There are two sides to hacking. First there are the hackers themselves.
