Module 5 Journal Entry<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this Journal Entry, I ranked the individual motives based on what I honestly think makes the most sense in real life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Money<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I put money as number one because that just makes the most sense to me. A lot of cybercrime is about financial gain, whether it’s stealing credit card information, ransomware, or crypto hacks. People will do a lot for the money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Political<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ranked political second because we constantly see hacktivist groups and even governments attacking each other online. It feels very realistic in today’s world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Revenge<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revenge makes sense because emotions can push people to do extreme things, especially if they feel wronged by someone or a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Recognition<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people just want attention or to prove they’re smart enough to break into systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Curiosity<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think curiosity plays a role, especially with younger hackers who want to see if they can actually do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Entertainment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doing it for fun seems possible, but not as common in serious attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Boredom<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boredom can play a role, but it usually overlaps with other motives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. Other\/Personal Thrill<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ranked this last because it feels less structured and often ties into recognition. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
