Hacktivism uses cyber attacks based on political motivations who use cyber sabotage to promote a specific cause. As opposed to the hacking industry intent on data theft, hacktivism is not motivated by money and high visibility is key. Hacktivisms are motivated by revenge, politics, ideology, protest and a desire to humiliate victims. Profit is not a factor.
