Well, I'm afraid that we won't be able to say much about hacks we've seen, as our forte is giving support when technical difficulties pop up...
About motivation of hackers... as a former server admin in few old shooters, I would say that there are three main reasons:

Also, for future use, you can report suspected cheaters. To do it, you will need this information:
- Time & Date
- The server where cheater appeared
- Number of people present on the server when it happened (a screenshot will do)
- A proof (recording)
- ID or gamertag of suspected hacker
Then go to http://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/new/?subject=cheating&product=plants-vs-zombies-garden-warfareand and select your platform. Then choose "Report Cheating/Harassment" in topic box and write "Reporting a cheater [day when it happened]" in "Please tell us a little more about your issue" box.
When you see available contact options pick "Email me" and write your report. Generally it should follow this scheme:

Origin ID:
Xbox GamerTag:
