Id honestly rather see them get hired by a cyber security company. Put their talent to good use.

Gotta earn your street cred first. By going to jail.

Don't think so. But hacking into other people's Twitter accounts is considered hacking 😁

OP is missing some important info. Where do I send my bitcoin? 🤔

Phished the log-in info, then break into the account with the log-in credentials shall not be considered as hacking.

You know, if you can ctonrol the tweet of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Apple and Uber, you could make a massive profit on the stock market without being caught.

Elon: Apple has agreed to buy TSLA at 500 billion valuation.
Apple: Retweeted the above, and send out a confirmation tweet.
Jeff: Amazon has agreed to purchase Uber and rename it to Amazon Taxi
Uber: Hooray.

And he used it for a bitcoin scam that got $100k. Jesus.

If you are smart enough to trick tech giants and steal money from people, you are responsible enough to do jail time.

My partner and I both got hired for one of the big tech companies, it's not as hard as you think. Literally all about who you know, my bachelor's degree and experience isn't even in the same field as to what I'm doing now.

Exactly my point. How do you expect this 17 year old from Florida to be friends with Tim Cook at Apple? More than likely he would submit a resume online, and it would never get looked at.

you continue in the industry and make these extremely easy connections with people. not a difficult concept.
