ABC News speaks with a young hacker about what experts call a wide-ranging menace: a new generation of tech-savvy teens who are uniquely dangerous and surprisingly young.
This is hardly a new phenomenon at all. I used to be a teen hacker myself. Many security experts and ethical hackers start out as skript kiddies playing around with Kali Linux.
I disagree. It’s very difficult to make money like that. A bit easier is bug bounties, but a real fixed income job is much more easy. Another, smaller problem is limited payment options with crypto. It means you’d have launder it into real money.

Just to clarify, I meant it’s easier to make money as a teen hacker nowadays than it was back in my day thanks to crypto.
oh, i see. thx for the clarification
Nope, super easy. Especially when you’re a patsy. It’s really easy until you get caught like your partners planned from the start.
