Yes, and some of the best weren’t hackers/crackers. I suppose this is a “tragedy of the commons” problem – is the increase in risk to the world worth an individual learning how to hack? Given the plentiful alternatives, I think the answer is no.

By learning the internals of virusses and other malicious software these next generation software engineers will know how to put barriers in their software to prevent exploitation.

I see your piont 100% but know from experience the only way to right secure software is to understand how a virus is written and acts. Only then can you stop expliots. Pros and cons to both sides. In a perfect world we would not have to worry about these kids turning malisious. As long as they undrstand the punishment for such crimes we should be ok.
