This is someone you can never count on to do anything they don’t want to do. Someone who will destroy things if they don’t get their way. Triple letters won’t touch him.

definitely, but people can change

a lot of this was social engineering

people always have a high and mighty mentality when talking about social engineering, most attacks today use some form of social engineering and have for a long time, if not always.

Sure, but from what I have read that hasn't happened and he doesn't want to change. He straight up said he will continue to hack if released. He has even hacked in custody.

He can change if he gets the right treatment or he has a moment of reflection. It's unreasonable to expect a normal person to be the same person 3 years later and even more unreasonable to expect a mentally unstable person to be the same n years later.

Isn't that exactly what is happening?

[–] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

It's not the right treatment if it doesn't work, and if it does work, it could still take ages for it to have a good enough effect.

So yes, but also no. Psychology and psychiatry are difficult because they require trial and error.

He did get sent to a psych ward instead of prison with that exact hope. IIRC the biggest issue wasn't just the hacks, but that he was extremely violent and showed no remorse whatsoever as well.
