"If you try to hack a US intelligence or defence agencies and fail, you go to prison.

If you do hack the US intelligence or defence agencies and, you get a job."

My high school comp-sci teacher.

I get this was a competition in this instance though. These guys will certainly have jobs if they want them.

With any hack, it's about context. Its's easier to explain that you're not a malicious actor... Like doing it at a security conference or competition.
