I really do not condone ripping people off or hacking but I have to admire the tenacity of these hackers, nothing is out of bounds, every opportunity to steal or rip people off is a naked call option where only their time is the currency that can be lost with a failed heist.
It's the new bank robbers of our age but without films or hollywood glamourizing it (yet) the same bank robbers.
Crime does pay but it's a shame smart talent is being used to destroy not build. We can't point fingers at specific regions or countries with a depressed economy and expect them to find honest work-they may not exist there when government corruption has already robbed their citizens of the livelihood they were owed. This is not a justification for criminal action but a mere observation of the structural environment giving rise to such behaviours.
