That's happened before and the person has been very good at helping those he harmed. Read Catch Me If You Can. It's a true story.

"Possibly, but I would hope they wouldn't reward him (and he seems to be a idiot in other ways). That sends a really bad message. Not to mention, what he and his dopey friend did isn't really that *special*. Botnets are a dime a dozen."

It would be the equivalent of hiring a bank robber as a security specialist.

What do you want to bet he gets hired by Eset, or Norton, or the FBI, to help them stop other hackers from doing what he did?

His parents looked on.

Too bad they didn't look on a little sooner to see what junior was up to.
