Study: Teenage Hackers Motivated By Morality Not Money
"Teenage hackers are motivated by idealism and impressing their mates rather than money, according to a study by the National Crime Agency.
The law enforcement organisation interviewed teenagers and children as young as 12 who had been arrested or cautioned for computer-based crimes.
It found that those interviewed, who had an average age of 17, were unlikely to be involved in theft, fraud or harassment. Instead they saw hacking as a “moral crusade”, said Paul Hoare, senior manager at the NCA’s cybercrime unit, who led the research.
Others were motivated by a desire to tackle technical problems and prove themselves to friends, the report found."

Basically, no. You only share what's necessary. And you always assume that whatever you share will be leaked somehow, and used against you.
