That's exactly what I mean. Those kids weren't born criminals. I would throw in jail every song writer and film director who romanticized criminal activity first, because such kids are the product of their "art". In fact, I wouldn't throw in jail writers and film directors, because no one should go to jail for art, but, I mean, to make those kids rot in jail for the rest of their lives is even more wrong. They should be dishonored for their actions, but their talent must be used for the benefit of society, and no one can work effectively when in prison.
I have watch a youtube video concerning a hacker that gets arrested and putted to jail for almost 4 years behind bars, he is considered a
million dollar hacker, and right now, he is doing a bug bounty job and it really pays allot with this kind of talent. I am not saying that most of us should pursue hacking, but with these kids with exceptional talents, they should first learn how to repent and change, because real money will come in legal ways.
That is such a good example of what talented hackers can do. Thank you!
The video isn't that long, it's less than 10 minutes, but there's so much valuable info in it. By donig legitimate hacking you can earn 20k USD for a single report, 160k USD in a single day, 636k USD withing one year. That's what happened to Tommy DeVoss, the hero of the story, after he served 4 years behind bars for being a "bad" hacker, and decided to become a "good" one.
There's also an info on how other legitimate hackers are doing:
I think it is possible to make even more money by collaborating with criminals. But if 636k USD per year is not enough for you, it is called greed, and you deserve to spend most of your life in prison. That's how I think about it.
