I'm glad there are people like this. I mean he could seriously fuck up a lot of the companies their financials by printing random tickets or something but he didn't. He litterally warned all of them, I wouldn't know why this would fuck up his career, it should give it a boost.

You're spot on here.

The sad thing Is, rather than seeing this as a good thing (bringing the security Issue to the attention of others), people see It as an act of malicious Intent- mainly due to the fact that he "hacked" the printers. The term "hacker" Is perceived (by a lot) as someone who gains access for personal/financial gain and acts of unlawful conduct. Would they rather he disclose all personal credentials? Evidently not, but they don't see It from that perspective.
