What is a website hack? How and why do they do it?

What is a website hack? How and why do they do it?: "ining links to the phishing page on your site. When victims log in, thinking it's PayPal, your site steals their login data and relays it to a remote computer. Then the thieves log into the real PayPal accounts and steal the money.
Illegal pornographic content.
Use your webspace to store PHP or Perl scripts like c99 or r57 for use in Remote File Inclusion (RFI) attacks on other sites, making your site look like the attacker.
Your traffic. They put visible links on your pages that visitors on your site can follo"
