    This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat.

    I keep hearing this.

    Find me any company that will hire someone so unstable and destructive, and I’ll show you a company with bad hiring practices.

    This is someone you can never count on to do anything they don’t want to do. Someone who will destroy things if they don’t get their way. Triple letters won’t touch him.

    Also, let’s be clear, a lot of this was social engineering. He didn’t do anything impressive, he just did things others wouldn’t be brazen enough to do because they didn’t want to get caught.

      definitely, but people can change

      people always have a high and mighty mentality when talking about social engineering, most attacks today use some form of social engineering and have for a long time, if not always.

        Sure, but from what I have read that hasn’t happened and he doesn’t want to change. He straight up said he will continue to hack if released. He has even hacked in custody.

          He can change if he gets the right treatment or he has a moment of reflection. It’s unreasonable to expect a normal person to be the same person 3 years later and even more unreasonable to expect a mentally unstable person to be the same n years later.

              It’s not the right treatment if it doesn’t work, and if it does work, it could still take ages for it to have a good enough effect.

              So yes, but also no. Psychology and psychiatry are difficult because they require trial and error.

        He did get sent to a psych ward instead of prison with that exact hope. IIRC the biggest issue wasn’t just the hacks, but that he was extremely violent and showed no remorse whatsoever as well.

      Are you kidding me? Aggressive, unstable and destructive seem to be core tenants for the CEOs of many large scale blue chip firms.

      If you want actual penetration defense, you absolutely hire the unstable person. I’m not saying you put him or her in the centre desk on the main floor, let him or her work from an environment where they are most comfortable, and one that supports them best.

      If you want window dressing, hire the neat and tidy person, who couldn’t actually penetrate an Excel sheet.

        Or you hire an intelligent, capable, and professional pen tester. They’ll find the same holes that the nutcase will, they’ll document them, and they’ll do it without breaking things.

      If you don’t think MI6 have their grubby hands all over this deciding what to do with the boy you should think again.

      He’s too risky
