Some hacking is ethical...
In fact most hacking is ethical. The public just doesn't hear about it.
Tell that politicians xD
Someone was prosecuted for hacking bc they hit F12. Lmao, never gonna get over that.
I know that story, sad and funny altogether: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/12/missouri-planned-to-thank-security-journalist-before-governor-called-him-a-hacker/
Ah, looks like he was never prosecuted after all, but the whole situation was still a horrible mess.
Thats an older source, saw some newer on reddit last week. Try to find it. But nothing happened to our hacking hero xD
