(On my slides on my IPad I can only see 1-6 motives)

In class we learned about different motives. Motives depend upon the crimes committed. My ranking is below:

  1. Money: I believe most criminals/ hackers would commit crimes based on how much money they would receive. To me it makes the most sense.
  1. Revenge: A vendetta against someone could make you do terrible things. That’s why I put it second on my list. 
  2. Boredom: Heard the saying “ Curiosity killed the Cat?’’ Sometimes curiosity or boredom can lead to doing strange things on the internet. So to me Boredom is number three.
  3. Entertainment: I put this here because some people might find it fun to do bad things.
  4.  Recognition: Crime could be a way for people to get their name out in the world but I don’t think it makes the most sense.
  5. Political: this one makes the least sense to me
