Today this has changed greatly, most crimes committed are financially motivated.<br \/>\nProfit is the most widespread motive behind all cybercrimes and, indeed, most crimes-everyone wants to make money. Hacking for money or for free services includes a smorgasbord of crimes such as embezzlement, corporate espionage and being a \u201chacker for hire\u201d. Scams are easier to undertake but the likelihood of success is much lower. Money-seekers come from any lifestyle but those with persuasive skills make better con artists in the same way as those who are exceptionally tech-savvy make better \u201chacks for hire\u201d.<br \/>\n&#8220;White hats&#8221; are the security specialists (as opposed to Black Hats) interested in helping the community in securing their networks. They will test systems and network with the owner authorization.<br \/>\nA Black Hat is someone who uses his skills for offensive purpose. They do not seek authorization before they attempt to comprise the security mechanisms in place.<br \/>\n&#8220;Grey Hats&#8221; are people who sometimes work as a White hat and other times they will work as a &#8220;Black Hat&#8221;, they have not made up their mind yet as to which side they prefer to be.<br \/>\nThe following are incorrect answers:<br \/>\nAll the other choices could be possible reasons but the best one today is really for financial gains.<br \/>\nReferences used for this question: <a href=\"http:\/\/library.thinkquest.org\/04oct\/00460\/crimeMotives.html\" title=\"External link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/library.thinkquest.org\/04oct\/00460\/crimeMotives.html<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informit.com\/articles\/article.aspx?p=1160835\" title=\"External link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.informit.com\/articles\/article.aspx?p=1160835<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aic.gov.au\/documents\/1\/B\/A\/%7B1BA0F612-613A-494D-B6C5-06938FE8BB53%7Dhtcb006.pdf\" title=\"External link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.aic.gov.au\/documents\/1\/B\/A\/%7B1BA0F612-613A-494D-B6C5-06&#8230;<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/span> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crackers today are MOST often motivated by their desire to: A.
