Hackers sometimes can be referred to what are known as Trolls who simply wish to break the defenses of your computer and cause havoc just for the simple amusement of it. Other hackers have more practical motives such as planting worms and spyware in your computer to steal your personal information such as bank account and credit card information and to steal password logins and usernames for various functions.
