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.

I ranked these motives based on their perceived rationality and potential consequences. Money is my number one, as it represents a tangible and sustainable driver, turning cybercrime into a full-time career or a lucrative side gig. I placed Revenge second, as the desire to anonymously settle a grudge without direct personal harm is a powerful and understandable, if misguided, incentive. Multiple Reasons comes in at third; factors such as ego, revenge, money, boredom, and adeptness can play a role into committing cybercrime. If I was certain in my abilities, I would do it for all these reason combined. I ranked Political motives fourth because, while the goal may be ideological awareness, the severe legal repercussions for exposing sensitive information seem to outweigh the benefits. Entertainment ranks fifth, as hacking for mere amusement, like infiltrating a platform like LinkedIn without profit, ultimately feels pointless. Recognition is sixth, as the case study of the individual in the article who was quickly caught after a DDoS attack aimed at gaining Twitter followers perfectly illustrates the high risk and low reward of seeking notoriety. Boredom goes last because it lacks a coherent goal.
