It would strike me that this could be legal if it advertised itself as hiring primarily to people looking for hackers for legal purposes. (i.e. to find potential flaws in systems - aka white hat hackers) Of course, undoubtedly people would hire for less savory purposes, but they might be able to keep some veneer of legality.so should i say i'm lucky to know an hacker (onlinehacker4hire@gmail.com) who that does both?.
