In these articles that I viewed about individual motives, some motives made sense to do and carry out whereas some didn\u2019t make sense at all and were done for no reason. Out of the seven motives, I ranked the \u201cpolitical motive\u201d to be the first, the reason for this is that it can make sense for hackers to do this. Some hackers interfere with politics for bad reasons or just to do it, whereas some do it with a good motive. For if a politician is very crooked, but on the outside he\/she is very good and trying to do good for people which isn\u2019t that politician\u2019s real motive, a hacker can go out of the way to dig up documents, messages, or files. The hacker would try to expose the politician\u2019s real intentions and let the people know that they\u2019re not for the people at all. In conclusion, not all hackers have the same motive when it comes to politics some interfere for the wrong reasons whereas some do it for the people and to protect them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next motive I ranked at number two would be the \u201cFor money motive\u201d which makes sense. The reason I think it makes sense is because some people take to the life of being a cybercriminal for legitimate reasons like providing for themselves, this could be paying bills, getting groceries, or gas. Also, cybercriminals could use this motive just to make sure they\u2019re well-established in the future like investing. The other reasons like spending money on bad habits or other irrelevant things don\u2019t make sense to me. Even though doing this is bad some people do it to help themselves and establish a better life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next motive I rank at number three would be the \u201cmultiple reasons motive\u201d which makes some sense, but not so much. Some cybercriminals would do things for irrelevant reasons like boosting their ego or hacking out of revenge for someone. Some cybercriminals do the things they do because they can benefit greatly from it. The next motive I put at number four would be the \u201crecognition motive\u201d where this motive doesn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense to me. A cybercriminal can do an action that is outlandish and could cause harm to people, but the action would be carried out only for the sole purpose of getting attention and being more popular. The reason I think this doesn\u2019t make as much sense is because there are other ways to get recognition without causing people any harm or ruining an individual\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next motive I put at number five would be the \u201centertainment motive\u201d which doesn\u2019t make sense. With this motive, I can see how can makes sense to the cybercriminal to do an outlandish act where they do it for entertainment and have fun out of it. The reason why this doesn\u2019t make sense to me is because is that the cybercriminal can be harming people for their personal enjoyment, like for example a man scraping 700 million LinkedIn accounts and selling them to other hackers. These accounts include personal information and data selling them to different hackers for a specific price can cause other cybercriminals to commit crimes that can be harmful to a person\u2019s life. The next motive I ranked at number six would be the \u201crevenge motive\u201d, this motive doesn\u2019t make sense to me at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason for this is that cybercriminals could do acts of revenge for the smallest conveniences like being told no or just something minor. This can lead to the blackmailing of an individual or public embarrassment as well which can impact an individual\u2019s life. The last motive that I rank at number seven which makes the least amount of sense would be the \u201cboredom motive\u201d. The reason why I rank this motive at number seven is because doing an outlandish act out of boredom is not a great motive at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
