Review the articles linked with each individual motive. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Multiple Reasons\u2014To me, this motive makes the most sense because
cybercriminals often hack for multiple reasons. Cybercriminals may hack
primarily for money, but they might also seek recognition or fame within the
hacker community.
2. For money\u2014money is what makes the world spin, so it’s obvious why many
cybercriminals hack for monetary gain.
3. Recognition\u2014Bragging rights are a big part of the hacker community. This
community’s ego is fed by being the only one to pull off a hack.
4. Political motivations have always been a driving force behind criminal activities.
Cybercriminals can commit crimes for political reasons without their identity being
exposed, so it makes sense why this is a motive.
5. Revenge\u2014This is possible. Say someone gets fired from a job and they
feel it isn\u2019t just; they could hack into the company servers out of revenge.
6. Entertainment\u2014I ranked this at 6 because I can\u2019t see many hackers hacking just
for the fun of it. They usually stand to gain something for all the risk that goes into
it.
7. Boredom\u2014This is along the same lines as entertainment. While it\u2019s possible, it
just doesn\u2019t make much sense to hack out of boredom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
