A simple observation:
"White Hat Hacker" is NOT synonymous with "Ethical Hacker"
You can legally protect an unethical corporation and in doing so, you are an accomplice to their unethical actions.
You can ethically hack to protect people and still be conducting illegal activities.
Do not conflate the two terms.
(I speak from experience. One of my first #infosec jobs was protecting an exceedingly unethical corporation. The work I did in their SOC protecting them from attacks by ethical hackers was an unethical action.
But I had to eat. And I had to provide for my family.
I did what I needed to do to survive. And left as soon as I could. I don't fault anyone from stealing bread if they need it and I don't fault anyone from working for an unethical corporation is that is their only choice. But acknowledge and understand the consequences of your actions.)
