I definitely push boundaries I should not have in hindsight.

But I think the issue is this normalization, where if you spend all your time around these communities, things stop becoming...

The things that you would view as immoral or wrong start to become normalized.

You know, spending a year maybe in the community, it's like, oh, you know, who cares, right?

Like, it's just... It's just what people do.

Exactly, right?

There was one thing that really stood out to me, I think, when I was like 16 years old.

But somebody had shared like this list of credentials for Spotify Premium, where it was a bunch of people's stolen accounts.

It was like 100 email and passwords.

I remember seeing this and like thinking to myself, oh my God, I mean, this is pretty egregious.

And so I think I had emailed like all 100 people or 60 people on that list, like notifying them, hey, you know, your account was compromised, was shared.

This wasn't going to lead down any good roads, right?

Like, the people that are committing these crimes, maybe they get arrested, maybe you see it, right?

It's something where I was like, okay, something has to change here.

And so, like, I had reached out over email.

I was like, hey, I found both of these vulnerabilities.

And I think it was a couple months before I even heard back.

But they were like, oh, you know, what size T-shirt do you want?

What does it say?

Oh, it's fully black and it has white text.
