I think it has to do with the fact, that "white" hacking is illegal? I am sure people would like to help out and harden the systems.

But i am also not sure, what actually happened. Once ya in a system, all is lost.

And the culture around credentials is in my opinion a lost case anyways. I do not know where IT has gone a wrong path. Either security it is super high and you can not do anything (hello bureaucracy) or you can do more, but you become more vulnerable.

Anyways. Data is the new Oil, government said.
