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.

For Money: Financial gain is a primary motivator for cybercrime, as it directly impacts offenders’ livelihoods.
Revenge: Personal vendettas can drive individuals to commit cybercrimes, making this motive relatable and understandable.
Recognition: The desire for status or fame, especially in hacker communities, can push individuals to engage in high-profile attacks.
Entertainment: Many hackers seek thrill and excitement, making this motive significant, though often secondary to more tangible goals.
Political: Hacktivism driven by political beliefs is compelling but typically appeals to a narrower audience.
Boredom: While boredom can lead to cybercrime, it often lacks the intensity of other motives.
Multiple Reasons: Although a realistic representation of motivations, it is less clear and harder to pinpoint than singular motives.

This ranking reflects the varying levels of impact and clarity associated with each motive in the context of cybercrime.
