RE: When you're wanted by the FBI for hacking Steemit...

in #funny8 years ago (edited)

absolutely. if it's a grave exploit, just tell the community about it. I'm sure you get at least $4k out.

I guess the hacker was only able to get like $10k out, which is absolutely not worth it in terms of risk

Sort:  

They could have milked this...

  • rewards for a post on this hack/ exploit $$$$
  • bounty for a fix on github $$$$
  • #introduceyourself post as the 'white hat hacker' $$$$
  • rewards for posts on hacking and internet security $$$$$
  • consultancy work for Steemit/ similar websites $$$$$

He/ she should have come to me for career advice!

versus being hunted by fbi and whatnot for 10k USD.

Hackers dont think in the futer i think he was overwelmed that he got acces in the first place!

Sometimes the reason is not money but just intention to destroy a system they don't like. Some men just want to see the world burn...

There isn't too much risk if you are not playing it dumb. Still an idiotic move.
