> I do worry that these 19-24 year olds, some of whom are known to HN for other achievements, are putting themselves in real legal jeopardy.

They 100% are. This is a full blackhat attack on a nation. Did they take no ethics class? (software or otherwise)?

My experience with ethics classes is that they usually just teach you good ways to justify whatever you want.

If you get your ethics from some class you took in college, you definitely shouldn't be given authority over anything important
