ABC News speaks with a young hacker about what experts call a wide-ranging menace: a new generation of tech-savvy teens who are uniquely dangerous and surprisingly young.
I feel like having technologically weak education systems are entrapment for people like this.
You put these kids in a cage (school) with other abusive children and then make them interact with that cage and wonder why they keep smashing the cage up… While they’re full of anger, hormones and mentally developing, but sure yeah lets just send the smart kid to prison for 20 years instead of sending them to go be red team.
Or is it because AI took all the junior opsec roles, there’s nobody willing to have him pawned off on them
A culture that weaponises its legal system to protect technical systems that are secured with zipties and bad passwords and band-aid solutions is just asking to get absolutely shat upon by external actors
He was your best shot at protecting yourself from Iranians… lol
Edit: This boy should have been scooped up by the CIA or FBI or something. Maybe he could have helped prevent the FBI losing 100TB of epstein data due to hackers breaking in and thinking it was someones CSAM torrent seed box.
This kid didn’t hack into school systems to change grades- he was extorting millions of dollars from large and small companies to buy drugs and jewelry. I think you are missing the gravity of what he did.
“Under no guidance, they can fall into really, really bad habits. Under the right guidance, you can take this generation and use their skills [positively].”
That’s exactly what I thought when I read this. Or, the right guidance to persecute those who would speak truth to power and expose the G-d-awful truth of who we really are, in our very poor, misguided leadership.
I just can’t imagine being so obtuse as to see the sheer leverage they have over this kid and the fact that they desperately, desperately need technical competence in the US agencies right now.
They could lean on this kid forever to make him a good little agent, but no, send the twink boy to the assrape box. Rehabilitation? Whats that.
You romanticizing a situation that doesn’t deserve it. Skilled or not- he hurt people for money. He’s not a Robin Hood fighting the evil corporatists or government.
That’s a straw man, stay on topic. Nobody should hurt people for money. Saying that this kid deserves a nice job as a reward is just a sycophantic as the right covering for trump.
That is my point. I refuse to be okay with sending a boy to get his behind busted for 20 years for trying to get that bag while the country is otherwise lawless.

He’s following in your national leaders footsteps of shaking people down for money, its the American Dream, baby.

Hurting people for money is the model of capital. He’s just trying to get that bag like your president does.

Oh yeah for sure, he totally deserves more than his entire lifespan so far being violated in the asshole.
You are absolutely unhinged, a bad person and should think about what the fuck it is you’re saying.
Edit: I love lemmy, not having to self-censor is a delight.
I feel like that’s a core requirement for the CIA though…
hurting people for money is the core tenant of being a cop, a soldier or a spy. They’re all different ways for the state to wield violence.
Then he belongs in jail same as Trump
