Journal #5

Review the articles linked with each individual motive in the presentation page or Slide #4.  Rank the motives from 1 to 7 as the motives that you think make the most sense (being 1) to the least sense (being 7).  Explain why you rank each motive the way you rank it.

If I had to rank these I would rank them in the order; For money, multiple reasons, entertainment, recognition, boredom, political, and revenge. From reading these doing this for money at least is a solid motive the article just talks about how cybercriminals spend their money earned. Multiple reasons, recognition, and entertainment follow after because they consist of typical human motives like power, financial gain, and power. Boredom was tough for me to rank in my opinion because the article just went over the increased risk of grooming during the pandemic and I was left with mixed opinions so I put it in the middle. Political and revenge were found at the end of my list because I truly feel like the motives mentioned in the article were ignorant. The two motives you can say were stated in these two articles were anger and to cause harm which is something I can’t agree with. In this situation, it seems like you are only working to harm others.
