Lack of social skills

Hackers tend to be withdrawn and introverted. They will not have much of a social life outside hacking, and this explains why they are inconsequential and ready to take risks. If hackers had a stable family and several dependents, they would be less drawn towards engaging in cybercrime as they would fear being arrested and leaving the dependents without a breadwinner. The lack of social skills also presents another problem, where the hackers will be soulless and thus merciless in their attacks. They do not view the other side of the target, such as the people that depend on the organization they are trying to attack. They will do these things without any emotions attached.
