I'd say that depends on the hack. The hacks just for prestige aren't really that prevalent any more.

These days it's hack for stealing creds or money or secrets or perhaps just putting ransomeware on all the comapanies systems to get a bitcoin payment out of them...

Even for prestige, is it ok for gang members to break and enter properties, even if they don't anything, for prestige? I suspect not so the same should apply.
