Lulz and boredom mostly. Sometimes its motivated by political or ethical views, but usually its lulz and boredom. They also usually have seriously inflated egos online, generally to match their minuscule egos offline. Many also like to pretend they are really smart, most are not.

Also there are not that many real hackers out there. Most of these guys are script kiddies, and with out the tools written by real hackers, couldn't hack their way out of a paper bag.

BBC News usually, or one of the sub-sections.

A good site for early news releases.
