Enjoyment—to have fun with unsuspecting users.
I think this is important to note because someone may think that they are just having fun but they are might really being putting people in danger and at risk. Teaching that this is not good digital citizenship is important because hacking someone's appliances and making their products unusable can become a big deal for some people. Letting people know that it is important to leave people's information and digital space alone and protected.

This is significant because people, especially students, are susceptible to just clicking on things rapidly because they think it looks cool or interesting.
