MT Gox was not hacked. They guy took all the money and after the statue of limitations expires, he will have fabricated some fake business success as justification for the suddenly surfaced wealth that he will spend.
Second, the group "Anonymous" that brags to allegedly hack into anything, is bragging that they are openly criminals. They commit crimes which is one thing. But to commit a crime and claim that you are a hero, or doing a public service, or claim what you did was NOT criminal, is worse than criminal. It is stupid and pathological. There is no "grey hat", you are a white hat or a black hat. If you break the fucking law, you are a black hat. Not a grey hat. You break the law, that is criminal. If you believe there is justification for the label "grey hat" then you are in reality, a PINK HAT asshole black hat! And by pink I mean to insult the orientation of any "anonymous" asshole.
I don't know you, but I do not like anyone that has the V for vendetta avatar, as that is associated with the Anonymous pink hats. If you do not support them or the "Grey" line of criminal thinking, then I support you. Otherwise I would like to point out the pathological criminal opinion behind "the mask" so that nobody works or pays one of those "anonymous" supporters.
Thank you either way.
I do not really see why the public portrays hackers as intriguing individuals, when hacking is about as tasteless as vandalism, anyone can setup an anonymous server with a domain asking for credit card numbers in exchange for Emma Watsons nudes if you have 100k targeted views there will be at least 20% credit cards submitted, average of 1k per credit card is 20k if you sell them on the deepweb for 5% then you've got 5k which barely makes a normal salary.
The problem is if you're that good why not work for a european firm and make 10k per month doing some bullshit security job plus have all the perks and avoid the risk of getting locked up, only makes sense for individuals with a low financial intelligence. The average human is so dumb he would trade his credit card info for a chocolate bar, playing our monkey brains large scale is about as impressive as stealing candy from a kid, imagine if you get locked up for 5 years after 5 years of work your monthly salary gets inflated to 2.5 versus the 10 that you could have been making.
This is why Bitcoin works as a monetary system so well, it pays significantly more to work for the system than against it. The avatar was set back in 2011 when they still allowed avatars, no ill intent in mind. I still like to keep it because it reminds me of how infinitely not noob I am vs most of the forum.
No such thing as a white hat hacker either, if your system is secure there is no need to order some schmuck to try to bruteforce the password or type in zeros and ones against a green screen to attempt and gain access.
