So when ranking the articles and its motive this is what I get:
- Cyberbullying and online sexual grooming of children ‘on the increase
- New generation of angry & youthful hackers join the ‘hacktivism’ wave, adding to cyber-security woes.
- Revenge porn victims in Wales often feel ‘let down by the law’ as cybercrime slips through the net
- 8-month suspended sentence for script kiddie who DDoS’d Labour candidate in runup to 2019 UK general election
- What Drives Hackers to a Life of Cybercrime?
- Sex, Drugs and Toilet Rolls: How Cybercriminals Spend Their Money (infographic)
- LinkedIn scraping of 700M records was ‘for fun’ says hacker
How I ranked these articles and its motives was from 1 being the one that makes the most sense to me. And 7 being the one that makes the least amount of sense to me. When judging the articles it judged it by how it related to its motive and also how important it was. For example I have “Cyberbullying and online sexual grooming of children ‘on the increase” as number 1 because I believe the article stayed on its topic/motive. I also believe it’s very important compared to my number 7, which is that “LinkedIn scraping of 700M records was ‘for fun’ says hacker”.
