⬆️ John, this is really crazy. The video is long but still worth watching. I wonder if there’s ever a single hacker. I mean, someone that doesn’t work with a group of hackers. If I was a thief, I’d just do it once and live off of the first millions of dollars, and be done, lol.

But seriously, if I was that computer literate, I would just find a really high paying tech job. I don’t know why they just won’t do that, instead of risking their freedom. Being that intelligent, you could really negotiate what you want.

Have you ever seen the move “The Core”? There was a hacker in the movie who got caught, but then the government forced him to work for them or go to prison. It was kind of a cheesy movie, but some parts were ok.

They collaborate really well and warn each other so they can better defend it. It's constant though. Job security for people in cyber security- no shortage of work for us, truly.

That’s gotta be really stressful, though.
