They don't want to crash your computer, at least, the real hackers don't. Real hackers want to break into your system to plant keyloggers or gain control of your system to get any and all personal information they can. It's not as bad as stealing, it is stealing.

Sometimes the end result of hacking a system ends in it crashing but that is not their primary purpose because if the system goes down then they can't get any information.

That being said hackers don't really target home users, their targets are businesses that handle credit card transactions, they want credit card numbers and personal information... identity theft is on the rise.

This is a rhetoric question. Why people kill people?
