A grey hat hacker is an individual or group of hackers who typically breach a system without malicious intent. They may exploit vulnerabilities in a system, such as an unpatched security hole, to gain access, but they do not generally do so with malicious intent. Instead, they may use their access to do something beneficial, such as informing the system’s owner of the vulnerability. Grey hat hackers will often also offer to fix the problem for a fee.
