Hackers try to gain unauthorized access to the secret regions of the Internet: the computers of people, corporations, or governments.

Hackers break into private networks to swipe secret info, which they can then sell or use for all sorts of dastardly purposes.
Another reason to hack a system is to steal information or money. A large portion of hacking attempts fall into this category. Banks and large companies are common targets for hacking jobs, but sometimes smaller companies or even a specific person’s computer are targeted, as well.
There are also some hackers, including hacking groups; that target a company to disrupt business, create chaos and just be a nuisance. These groups often be trying to make a statement with their hacking, demonstrate security inadequacies, or show general disapproval for the business itself.
