OGPurge Why do people hack like this? Just get a job hacking for the government.

They hack so they can make money. It's a huge monetary profit. A job with the government would not pay them nearly as much.


......Really?

Okay. So a 100k+ dollar salary opposed to finding exploits in security and hoping to find money to pay bills, yep. More money that way.

It's more reliable to just work for the government.


Yea and want get you jail time.
