Remove "defined ethical hacking as going into devices and computer systems belonging to an organization, with its explicit permissions, to assess and test the efficacy of the organization's cybersecurity defenses. Generally, organizations engage the services of ethical hackers either through third-party cybersecurity firms or under contract. Their main job is to identify and fix security gaps before threat-actors find them and exploit them. This proactive approach to cybersecurity testing leads to significant cost savings for organizations." in the Uses section, preceeding the Ethical Hacking subsection. This was meant for the Ethical hacking section but got duplicated somehow. 67.173.111.243 (talk) 19:16, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Error in comparison with "crackers"
Shouldn't this be:

those who are generally referred to by media and members of the general public using the term "hacker", and whose primary focus‍ —‌- be it for benign or for malevolent purposes‍ -—‌ lies in exploiting weaknesses in computer security." 147.188.245.177 (talk) 15:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
