I miss pwn4ge like this, but even this was kind of weak because they didn't do anything funny and also damaging, must be both

all we've gotten this decade were super quiet "state-level actors", and uninspired trolls

I want the "for the lulz" ASCII art pros dropping MIDI music while also pillaging corporations and leaking secrets

make a festival out of it.

I think its coming, a hack that incorporates the best of the latest hacks. Like making a docker disk image of content that was leaked, so that all the other hackers (including the original hacker) have plausible deniability and don't violate the CFAA

Reminds me of this dude who hacked Russian Railways just for fun

Agreed. Max Headroom[0] should have been a sign of things to come rather than the pinnacle of this kind of thing.

I think the difference is that this decade the incentives are such that people with those skills can make millions and not be in jail.
