Only recently has that been the case. Those have actually been fairly benign. For the most part though, hackers just cause misery for everyday people. Viruses, malware, stealing information, bringing down sites, hacking emails, stealing bandwidth from their neighbors/companies, etc. Just look at all the crap you have to have on your PC just to protect yourself. How often does your PC have to spend running updates on all that just to keep current with the latest malware?? Virus protection, adware protection, firewalls, etc. All that slows down your PC. A bunch a Worthless losers they are.
