Detailed explanation-1: -Hacktivism is nonviolent use of illegal or legally ambiguous digital tools in pursuit of political ends. Cyberterrorism consists of politically motivated illegal attacks against information, computer systems, programs and data resulting in violence against noncombatant targets.
Detailed explanation-2: -The biggest motivation is often financial gain. Hackers can make money by stealing your passwords, accessing your bank or credit card details, holding your information to ransom, or selling your data to other hackers or on the dark web.
Detailed explanation-3: -11 A hacktivist act is thus an act of ECD, and can be justified, if it meets a series of defining features typically associated with traditional civil disobedience. Hacktivist acts that fail to meet the criteria of civil disobedience are mere cyber crimes and cannot be justified.
