  1. I think that the most used reason is for money. Most of the time hackers hack anything it is for the potential profit that is associated with what they have hacked.
  2. Second for me would be Recognition, I think that a lot of hackers hack so that people take notice of them and then spread the information around that they were able to hack something important.
  3. Third for me would be political, I think a lot of people use the internet and social media for political platforms, so some hackers try to use this to destroy their image.
  4. Fourth is entertainment, I think that some people just want a thrill and hacking is how they get that thrill.
  5. Fifth for me is revenge, I think a few people like the idea of getting back at someone and they can’t directly oppose them.
  6. Boredom, I think most people have a reason other than “I’m bored” to hack something.
  7. Multiple reasons could be anything, I don’t think someone would hack because their friend told them to.
