are blackhat hackers sociopaths?

do u think that blackhat hackers are sociopaths? or do u think its easier to be a blackhat hacker online because of the disconnect from reality? let me know !

Not really, there are a lot of other reason to be a "blackhat hacker" and not every blackhat hacker hacks people..
that’s actually a really good question. In a sense it is very disconnected but you have to have it in you to do the things you do.
Wouldn't that be like saying every criminal is a sociopath? I really doubt it.

It's either money or fame. I don't see other reasons.

Couldn't it be for the thrill, challenge and/or revenge?
They're not sociopaths. If they're any good at hacking they're probably pretty intelligent. Really smart people's minds work different than normal peoples though.

Well just because they're intelligent doesn't mean they're not sociopaths.

Grey hat. That's me all the way
I don't think they would be, some may but not the majority.
It’s just an easier way to make money really, I don’t see it having to do with being a sociopath lol

I don't agree with that. I belive most of them doing for just fun.

True. You can be any combination of intelligent and sociopath. Some aren't intelligent or sociopathic though.

There are more reasons except these, but yeah, probably the biggest reason is money.
