    Honestly, I wish the system would just educate such people in “white hat” hacking (if that’d the correct term?). I mean, I have zero knowledge in hacking, coding and that kind of stuff but he seems really smart.

    What he did is definitely wrong but, he also said himself;

    “I think I need to go to prison for what I did,” Lane told ABC News in an exclusive interview

    “It was disgusting, it was greedy, it was rooted in my own insecurities, it was wrong in every aspect,” he said in the interview, two days before reporting to prison.

    Now I’m also a bit skeptical because, he could also say this only due to him being caught, arrested and now sent to prison.

    Members of Generation Z – who have had digital devices and the Internet in their lives since birth – are particularly vulnerable to the allure of cybercrime because the social media platforms they inhabit can glorify “a criminal lifestyle”

    It is not “can”, it is. Movies, tv shows and a lot of social media post do glorify crimes.

    Wanted to write more but eh, at work…
