There are two types of modern pirates' existence: small-time pirates and organizations of pirates. Small pirates are mostly interested in loot and the safe of the ship they attack. They are similar to the old pirates from the past. Their goals are not high, and they work only for themselves. On the other side, organized pirates are groups connected to other similar groups, some prominent persons they work for, or even with the authorities.
Their goals aren't just looting of the small ships. They attack for fulfilling their part of the business.
However, they are usually only one link in a criminal chain. Although they are branded as pirates, they are much more different than the old sea robbers.

In the 15 years since armed Somali fishermen began forcing their way onto commercial ships, pirates have turned East Africa's seas into the world's most dangerous waters.
In alone, Somalia's lawless seamen captured more than 40 large vessels in the Gulf of Aden, a shortcut between Asia and Europe that's vital to the global economy.
Wiping out today's pirates won't be easy; they're smarter, better organized, and, frankly, better loved abroad than the swashbucklers of yesteryear. You may change your billing preferences at any time in the Customer Center or call Customer Service.
And although they no longer fly jolly rogers or force their victims to walk the plank, they are no less dangerous. These days, pirates use AKs and heavy machine guns to instill fear in their victims, while rocket launchers allow them to target ships from a long way away. They use night-vision goggles and advanced GPS devices to help with navigation and locating other ships at night. While pirates from the Golden Age used to live their lives at sea, modern pirates typically base themselves on the shore and attack via speedboats.
Their methods have changed, with guns being much more common among pirates these days than swords. But their goal is the same: to intimidate and rob crew members on other ships, sometimes assaulting and marooning them in the process.
