I just thought to share those definitions with all my forummates and that's the reason I put them here.
Anyways not only computers/systems can be hacked however it is often possible that your websites also get hacked.
There are many ways that hacker attacks your site and you might not be aware of it. Tried to post 2 of them here and they are:-

a) SQL Injection:- It is a technique using which a piece of malicious code can be injected in a web application, exploiting a security vulnerability of databases leading to change their behavior. This kind of attack might affect searching a phrase or a word, logging in to the account, processing email registration, manipulating URL etc.

b) Cross-Site Scripting (XSS):- It is a technique using which malicious code can be injected in a webpage, exploiting security vulnerabilities of web applications. While processing a request obtained from the user input, this kind of attack is often possible that affect checking and validating users request before it returns to the final user.
