What is the goal of hacktivism?

The primary goal of hacktivism is “social change.” Hacktivism is the act of hacking, or breaking into a computer system, for a politically or socially motivated purpose. The individuals who perform these acts, known as hacktivists, typically seek to promote a political agenda or social change, often by leaking sensitive information, defacing websites, or temporarily disrupting service. Unlike other forms of cyber attacks, the motivation behind hacktivism is not personal or financial gain, but rather to raise awareness, bring attention to social or political issues, or exact some form of justice or retaliation against perceived wrongdoings.
