It's all over the news right now with the recent attacks on Sony's Playstation network, soca.gov.uk and the CIA's official website.
These attacks made the headlines, and were attacked by the same group, LulzSec. There are, however, thousands of hacks that happen on a daily basis.

What is the point of these attacks? Often the attacks are done to steal credit card, Social Security/Social Insurance Numbers, and other personal information. It is often done to setup what are called ``warez sites``, which are locations used to distribute pirated software, music and movies. Other times it is done simply for the thrill and bragging rights.
