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.
Ok, then you agree that we should be protecting childrens data? So then something like a bug bounty would’ve been an overall plus here? Kid gets to test his skills, a new vulnerability in the system gets found, and everyone wins.
The website was vulnerable, if he didnt do it someone more malicious wouldve. They shouldve offered a bug bounty if they actually cared about the data.
That would have been a better outcome, but unfortunately that is not what happened. The kid wasn’t on some altruistic journey, he hacked a company whose business is dealing with tens of millions of children’s data. Prison was not the only remedy available, and I don’t relish in the thought of sending a young person there. Could’ve been some deferred action in conjunction with a program that steered the teen back onto a track of help rather than theft.

Poor argument.
jsyk you should check the whole thread and realise how ratio’d you’re getting. Perhaps rethink your priorities and how you view the world.
I stand by my words, don’t care about up/downvotes.
You have selected your hill. And thats ok. You’re still wrong though.
Appreciate it.
