Then you, like most of society, don't understand what drives criminal behaviour. Many professional criminals do so out of lack of other options. Others are expressing antisocial sentiment, often a result of trauma or feeling rejected by society. In my case, it was a mixture of both. Anyone that tells you that a complex societal problem is solely the result of moral failing or "bad people" does not have a good understanding of the problem space. NB- I'm on the straight and narrow these days :)

Nobody mentioned anything about them having morale failures. The point was that if they are making money by writing malware, then lack of education or training isn't why they're doing it, because they're clearly qualified to do at least entry level computer work. Whether or not that work is available, or pays enough, is another story.
