Best way to stop hackers is to just start handing out life sentences. that will put a stop to it. or even better. death penalties. like seriously just get a life. society doesn't tolerate thieves IRL so why would we tolerate them in the internet? Backdoors and exploits exist everywhere. no computer or building is 100% secure. we know this. so stop acting like you are doing everyone a favor by exposing them.

Best way to stop crime is to have the state execute anyone found guilty, right? Because the justice system never makes mistakes and is always on our side! Tell me, in this utopia, is there a world government carrying out these executions? Or is it just our great country who is purging it's security experts?

Not only is this psychopathic, to prioritize property above human life, to have such draconian sentences handed out so carelessly, not only is it so inhumane, to value human life so little, but it's also just factually and objectively bad policy. We learned from history and the Bloody Code, that when you have draconian sentences it means people will "upgrade" their crime since there is no difference between say "minor theft" and "major theft," but it also encourages horrible acts to avoid draconian punishments (murder is often involved in high risk crimes that have draconian sentences). But we also have most criminology and justice theory based on this modern principle that the punishment must fit the crime for law to be effective under the punitive system. On a technical note, it is doing a favor to expose the exploits, as long as it's handled in an appropriate way, I mean that's literally why companies pay a ton of money to white hat hackers, and why there are bug bounties, etc. But even more that's why someone like Edward Snowden is a hero.
