黑客

• Pinyin: hēi kè
• Desglose de hanzi: 黑 = 里 (inside) + 灬 (fire) — sinister darkness; 客 = 宀 (roof) + 各 (arrive/each) — visitor under a roof

Significado

Pirata informático; hacker (en sentido delictivo).

Phonetically adapted from the English 'hacker,' 黑客 in Chinese is nearly always associated with illegal activity. The 黑 (black/illicit) prefix reinforces the criminal connotation. 白帽黑客 (white-hat hacker) exists as a qualified term for ethical security researchers. Common in cybersecurity journalism, legal contexts, and tech discourse. 黑客攻击 (hacker attack) and 黑客组织 (hacker group) are frequent compounds.
