Should we give the people who scam old people out of their retirement money jobs too? What crimes do we punish and which do we reward? Do we give a guy who assaults women a job teaching self defense? Whats the point of laws? I am sure the teachers who are barely paid dont feel ok with having their personal info held hostage. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 5 points 5 months ago* Why? The pros know how to breach systems. The real question is what are you going to do with the breach? Today is the lazy man's game. This kid just played with fire and got burned. Nothing more. permalink fedilink source parent [–] homes@piefed.world 2 points 5 months ago* this isn't the 70s/80s. that type of recruitment hasn't be necessary for a long time. permalink fedilink source parent
