Hackers hack for a variety of reasons.
There are two types of hackers (that i am familiar with)

1.) White Hat Hackers --- This type of hacker is very informative They do not cause damage to any data that they may come accross. Infact they will get in contact with you and tell you they got in your system and are willing to show you how for a fee . They keep themselves out of the spot light!

2.) Black Hat Hackers----This type are the destructive ones. They will corrupt any data they come accross and throw it in your face that they broke in! Kind of like when a group takes credit for thier crimes...they get off on it....Always wanting to be in the spot light


I have come accross both types and let me tell you that its stressfull when you are hacked wether a good thing comes out of it or not.

I have a buddy thats a white hat hacker and has gotten into some crazy systems and didnt do a dam thing with the data he came accross...
