Why websites are hacked?

Hacking started as a prank in MIT and grew into a different thing. Earlier hacking was a way to showcase your ninja skills. Nowadays, it has grown to an easy and illegal money making method. Hackers use hacked websites, databases for spamming purposes, selling user information like social security numbers, credit card details and other stuff in underground markets and private forums. Moreover, hacking is done to show-off or as a part of cyber war between different countries.
