Upon reviewing the articles, I ranked monetary motives first since financial gain is the most prevalent and powerful reason to commit a cybercrime. The BitMart hack illustrates how millions of dollars could be stolen, which would explain how profit is a motivator for so much cybercrime occurring. In second place, I chose political. The ideology behind hacktivist groups, as well as their attacks against critical infrastructure, demonstrates how political motives and activism can be just as dangerous, if not more so, than financial motives. I ranked recognition third, as hackers who access a system for the recognition of making a breach, like those who accessed NASA, are well-documented in CIRCs. In fourth place, I chose revenge since we read examples of revenge porn being motivated by personal disputes that come from conflicts. Curiosity comes in fifth, as illustrated by a 15-year-old hacking NASA to fulfill the curiosity that any of us might have, asking whether he could, which made him feel empowered. I ranked entertainment sixth since committing a crime for fun seems less consequential than committing a crime for a reason, as politically or financially motivated. Next, boredom was ranked seventh. While it could explain cyberbullying, which is criminal behavior, and could provide an explanation to a degree, it feels like somewhat of a weak excuse altogether, at least to rank. In ranking the motivations for cybercrime, I ranked multiple in last place since they overlap with all of the other motivations.
