Ranking the motives from making the most sense (being 1) to the most minor sense (being 7)

1. Political- politics decides the way of the world, so to be able to sway the world however you may by finding the knowledge you aren’t authorized to see and possibly sharing it in your favor or for the betterment of the world, country, state, city, or local area, makes much sense.
2. For Money- This makes a lot of sense here, too. People need to make a living somehow, and due to some circumstances, fast money can come in bunches when doing something illegal in the cyber realm. Many people do many stupid things for money, but it makes the most sense since that is a factor needed to survive today.
3. Multiple reasons – It makes solid sense since it can be a combination of what was put below, but there would be outliers that wouldn’t pass as reasonable.
4. Revenge- This makes a rudimentary amount of sense as you’re doing it to get back what was done to you or someone else; other ways of revenge don’t include violations of privacy and sharing nude photos without consent, as the article said.
5. Entertainment- breaching private information and wrecking individuals’ personal information profiles never made sense, as I never understood the need to do so. It’s not funny to possibly ruin lives for entertainment (Especially based on the article selling LinkedIn profiles).
6. Recognition- This doesn’t make any sense as you can get recognition for many things other than doing something extremely illegal.
7. Boredom- Of all the things one chooses to do in a moment of boredom, one commits a crime, which is even worse than a cybercrime as digital footprints exist. But to do one at all for this reason is beyond asinine.
