Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

As computer use becomes more common, the need for security is more important than ever. One of the greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking. Computer hacking is the unauthorized access to a computer or network of computers. Hackers are people who illegally enter systems. They may alter or delete information, steal private information, or spread viruses that can damage or destroy files. But how exactly can a hacker get into a system to do these things?

Most hackers use information called protocols that are built into computer software. These protocols allow computers to interact with one another. Protocols are sort of like computer police officers. When a computer connects to another system, the protocols check to see if the access is valid. The protocols can also determine how much information can be shared between the two systems. Hackers can manipulate the protocols to get unlimited access to a computer system.

In fact, just the act of entering a computer network is considered hacking. This is commonly called passive hacking. Passive hackers get a rush from just being able to access a challenging system like a bank or military network. Another kind of hacker tries to do damage to a system. After hacking into systems, these hackers release viruses or alter, delete, or take information. Known as active hackers, they are, by far, the more dangerous of the two.

The easiest way to protect a system is with a good password, Long and unusual passwords are harder for hackers to guess. For even greater security, some online services now use “password-plus” systems. In this case, users first put in a password and then put in a second code that changes after the user accesses the site. Users either have special cards or devices that show them the new code to use the next time. Even if a hacker steals the password, they won't have the code. Or if the hacker somehow gets the code, they still don't know the password.

The author mentioned in the third paragraph that active hackers are more dangerous because ______.

they often get access to important networks like a bank or military.

they implant viruses or steal private and other vital information in systems.

they always remove all the data in the systems they hack.

they can do many harmful things for the whole computer network system.

Căn cứ thông tin đoạn 3:

“Another kind of hacker tries to do damage to a system. After hacking into systems, these hackers release viruses or alter, delete, or take information. Known as active hackers, they are, by far, the more dangerous of the two."

(Một loại tin tặc khác cố gắng gây thiệt hại cho hệ thống máy tính mà họ xâm nhập. Sau khi truy cập vào hệ thống, những tin tặc này cấy virus vào hoặc thay đổi, xóa hay lấy trộm thông tin. Chúng được biết đến như là tin tặc chủ động và rõ ràng chúng là loại nguy hiểm hơn trong 2 loại tin tặc).
