@jrdepriest @gingerjet @daedalus I think this is core to the militarization side. A lot of what we term infosec was funded by the military, and a lot of stuff is now funded by cops.

There's still hackers, lots of hackers, but they don't typically get into cons these days, because cons need money. Further ruining our industry.

Part of this is that corporations like cops and we infinitely fund cops and military.
