👉 Revenge engineering, also known as hacktivism or cyber revenge, is a form of cyber activism where individuals or groups intentionally manipulate, exploit, or damage software, hardware, or digital systems to retaliate against perceived wrongdoers or to expose and rectify unethical or malicious activities. This can involve exploiting vulnerabilities in software to gain unauthorized access, altering system configurations to disrupt operations, or spreading malicious code to cause harm. Unlike traditional hacking for financial gain, revenge engineering is driven by a desire for justice or retribution, often targeting companies, organizations, or individuals believed to have wronged them. It raises ethical and legal questions about the boundaries of acceptable cyber behavior and the potential consequences of such actions.
