    "If you try to hack a US intelligence or defence agencies and fail, you go to prison.

    If you do hack the US intelligence or defence agencies and, you get a job."

    My high school comp-sci teacher.

    I get this was a competition in this instance though. These guys will certainly have jobs if they want them.

      With any hack, it’s about context. Its’s easier to explain that you’re not a malicious actor… Like doing it at a security conference or competition.
