They do it simply because "they can".
They also get a buzz out of seeing the reaction, and topics the Admin posts such as "We got hacked!" or "We're under attack!".
I actually know some hackers.
They say the actual hackers only do site security, and crackers crack passwords to get admins FURIOUS.
Then some little kids find codes that actually hack and throw them around for fun, then get in trouble.

Or some do it just for the heck of it.
Why do people get high?
Why do people create forums?
Why do people hack forums?
Why do people sky dive?
Answer: It gives them a small "high" and makes them feel good.
Hackers do not "need to get a life", they are a vital part of the Internet society. It is their actions that force updates, and in most cases the developers don't just want to release an update to cover security holes so they toss in some new features as well.
Food for thought:
Wikipedia defines a "Hacker" as;
Hacker (computer security), someone involved in computer security
Hacker (programmer subculture), a programmer subculture originating in the US academia in the 1960s, now primarily notable for its involvement in the free software/open source movement
Hacker (hobbyist), an enthusiastic home computer hobbyist
Media hacker, someone who uses the media in new ways
Reality hacking, similar to a computer hacker, but hacks the "real world"
Wetware hacker, one who experiments with biological materials
Hackers do more good than negative.

Mostly. Though if there were no hacking hackers :shrug: there would be no need for security updates.ℓєσ gнσѕт said:
No security updates would lead to less overall updates, which could be less new features. As I said, developers never like to release an update just to cover a bug, because then they look bad. If they add a new feature as well, however small, it makes them have a better mindset.
Similarly, wars lead to developments in technology which would otherwise not have happened any time soon. Canned food was developed for French armies and there were numerous automotive breakthrough brought about by it. It's easy to make the connection, so I don't find what ℓєσ gнσѕт is saying very unbelievable. Developments in security and other features can go hand in hand at times and also, as he said, encourage developers to release features.
