Hackers could not be thought of as negatively as today

[2009]

If you think of a situation where a mother steals bread from the corporations to feed her children who are starving back home, then how do you know whether or not the hackers are in the same situation? Someone might hack an exchange to feed their starving children back at home. It's unfortunate that it happens, but to label all hackers as evil might not be a good idea.

We need more empathy and understanding of their plight.

Stealing is still classed as stealing whatever the reason.
If someone stole from you, you would not be happy.

Stealing is still stealing, no matter how you try to justify it.

That's a whole lot of bread they can buy with exchange money. Anyways, it's no point in justifying it because it simply can't be done. Stealing is stealing no matter the circumstances.

If they are hackers, which can exploit the structure of a well used website, then they can offer their skills in programming or other fields as it's certain that they are competent in their field. Websites offer bountys for finding exploits, it's called penertration testing.

They probably wouldn't post it on the forum.
