Review the articles linked with each individual motive in the presentation page or Slide #4.  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.

1- I think money makes the most sense because without money you can’t get the essential things you need to survive. 

2- recognition is second because doing something big enough could get you recognized and potentially give you an audience to put your product or message out there. 

3- political- this can be used to expose companies or organizations by hacking their servers and gaining access to classified information. 

4- revenge would be number 4 because this is an easy way to get back at somebody or a company to hack into their accounts and paint a bad image. 

5- entertainment would be my fifth ranking because you could hack into a website or platform and get free content or games. 

6- socioeconomic and technical skills- I ranked this near the end because just because you have the skills to commit a crime doesn’t mean you should. 

7- boredom is the motive that makes the least sense because there are various other things you can do to cure boredom besides commit a crime.
