Greyhats may or may not have malicious intent. They don’t play by anyone’s rules but their own.

A greyhat with malicious intent is just a blackhat.
Not really, because it depends on who the target is. If the greyhat for example maliciously targets a Mexican cartel or Iranian nuclear centrifuge, are they really the bad guy?
Which in turn depends on how many innocent bystanders get killed, maimed or injured as a result of those actions and if the means justify the end...
It’s a very grey area. If we knew the answers with certainty there would only be black and white.
