[citation][nom]azraa[/nom]Too bad guys like him go to prison.Don't get me wrong, he deserves the time, but I mean that he has, evidently, some talent programming and detecting exploits. That is the kind of talent that software companies look. He just followed a coward's path.[/citation]
That's assuming of course that the hacker in question never even attempted to get a job with any of the software companies.
You do realize we live in an economy where you need money in order to survive... and the companies you suggestdd often require 'higher education' (which isn't a guarantee of getting a job or that a person upon finishing it will be all the better for it) along with years of experience?
There are many self-taught individuals who do have the skills/knowledge, but none of the above requirements (or the ability to afford a university - you kinda need money for that, not to mention to survive), and they end up applying those skills wherever possible just so they can get paid and live.
Since we don't know the full background of this individual (at least, the article never explains it), it would be a bit idiotic to make assumptions he 'followed a coward's path'.
Taking into account the socio-economic system we live in (which is demented to say the least), its no wonder people are forced to take actions which under different circumstances they might not take.
