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.
The breach pierced the education technology company PowerSchool – used by 80% of school districts in North America – and “put at risk the security of 60 million children and 10 million teachers,” the Justice Department said.
You lose the argument when you threaten to leak MILLIONS of our children’s private data.
In a nation where people are desperate to get out of their position being stomped on by the epstein class, I don’t blame them for trying to get that bag and bounce.
You lose the argument when the authorities give the same private data to palantir.
Yeah, we all have to have a red line. Going after children’s data is a net negative. Hackers have all of these terrible companies to extort. No need to bring children into this.
Thank you for your feedback. You really should take a chill pill. Your activism consists of shouting down anyone who doesn’t pass your purity test. Not a good look.
No, I think you’re a cruel person. Your priorities are all wrong. I do not wish on you the things you’re wishing on others, regardless of any actions you could take. I’m not cruel and vindictive.
Ok, then you agree that we should be protecting childrens data? So then something like a bug bounty would’ve been an overall plus here? Kid gets to test his skills, a new vulnerability in the system gets found, and everyone wins.
The website was vulnerable, if he didnt do it someone more malicious wouldve. They shouldve offered a bug bounty if they actually cared about the data.
That would have been a better outcome, but unfortunately that is not what happened. The kid wasn’t on some altruistic journey, he hacked a company whose business is dealing with tens of millions of children’s data. Prison was not the only remedy available, and I don’t relish in the thought of sending a young person there. Could’ve been some deferred action in conjunction with a program that steered the teen back onto a track of help rather than theft.
if he didn’t do it someone more malicious wouldve.

“Barely a year earlier, while still a teenager, he helped launch what’s been described as the biggest cyberattack in U.S. education history”
He is a child, you fucking moron and your kind of vitriol just sent him off to get fucked five ways from friday in the US’s hellish prison system
My red line is putting anyone in there while there are worse people dropping bombs on brown children.
I guarantee if a child can get that data, someone else got it before him anyway and kept their mouth shut.
Fuck your red line.
I didn’t say that being sent to prison was the desired outcome. But at the very least, there needs to be some amount of accountability involved.
Also, chill out. Get some bud, and chill out.
Bro, no, I will not chill. You need to rethink your priorities as a human.

Poor argument.
