His career in white hat cybersecurity is shot to fuck. No one will trust him enough after this

Well, considering the UK is not interested in helping him, and you’re probably right, we should perhaps be more concerned with Russia or a similar country picking him up for state sponsored cyberattacks or some shit.

Kid seems to be in it for the chaos and notoriety. That could cause quite a bit of harm in the right state environment.

Mostly true in normal cases. If you’re really talented there is a market for you, always. Idk if he falls in the category, and most cyber criminals have no shot at white hat anything but given his age and his feats I think he might be an exception.

In this case, that market is the black market. In the regular market, no head of security wants to be responsible for a potential critical breach by hiring such a wild cannon.

His only possible path would have been to show remorse after the attacks. He shot that in the ass, or at least made his job much harder in that respect, by pulling another attack while in police custody.

Remember when a company's head of security was fired and prosecuted for ordering a pentest against his own company, which is a normal thing that good heads of security do?

  1. running unauthorised pentests does indeed get people fired. Along with getting their managers in hot water for letting their pentesters be loose cannons. And if they're attacking someone else while on company time, the company can be in serious legal trouble too.

  2. it is rather customary for heads to roll when critical data is leaked as part of an insider attack, especially when said attack was enabled by negligent practices.

Just incase you've forgotten that randomly attacking people and leaking data is this kid's MO.
