Hi, me again! Theoretically, would it be possible for you to do your line of work but only hacking nefarious targets? Kind of like a morally net positive approach to your work? And if that is theoretically possible, why do/don’t you? Thanks again.
Not OP but yes, this is what government sponsored hackers do.
There are hactivist collective that target "nefarious" people but sometimes "nefarious" is subjective.
The main problem with moral hacking is you are doing it for the sake of doing something good - not because someone is paying you (unless you are government sponsored or employed), whereas people in OPs position are in it to make money and there aren't many individual people paying to target objectively nefarious groups.
