OGPurge Why do people hack like this? Just get a job hacking for the government.

They hack so they can make money. It's a huge monetary profit. A job with the government would not pay them nearly as much.


......Really?

Okay. So a 100k+ dollar salary opposed to finding exploits in security and hoping to find money to pay bills, yep. More money that way.

It's more reliable to just work for the government.


hahha i read this and i completely lol'ed haha i agree 100%


Yeah. Working for the government is awesome. Especially when they take tax out of your paychecks!


The U.S government sucks I would not help them find any problems with there crap because they are selfish, liers and stupid people to start with.
