If I'm not mistaken, a DDoS or DoS attack's objective is to simply disrupt or completely interrupt access to a network or online service, without any personal gain from the attacker except perhaps satisfaction. However, a hack's objective is to gain information or goods such as money, passwords, bank records, credit card information, etc.
