White hat hackers are also called ethical hackers and they are responsible for accessing data in locked systems for security reasons or when the owners lose their passwords. They are usually certified to undertake such actions.

The Grey Hat hackers are usually a mixture of the black hat hackers and white hat hackers especially that they do not have any known criminal records regarding hacking.
