Am a professional pentester/red teamer. You hit the nail on the head.

Pentesting is not all about the shit you can hack. A big part of it is presenting a professional face that suits can trust.

That is fundamentally incompatible with compulsively attacking and leaking billions of dollars worth of shit

Am a threat intel guy. It's a pet peeve of mine to study criminals only to find SocMed presenting them as some kind of lovable anti-hero.

Like I get it, the guy's got talent, and he stuck it to the man...

Except what he's actually done is leaked decades of hard work by many talented people that do deserve to see a return on their efforts.

You can point to wages and working conditions but shit like this don't solve those problems

They should have seen those returns by now tbh, as it's for GTA V not VI, but most of the money sent to not the many talented people who made it but the people who paid them a little money (comparatively) upfront to work for them.

I agree with your point otherwise
