Hacking - just like murder is illegal.
Anyone hired for the purpose is a felon - so also the person/s who hire.
In case of the entity doing the hiring is a corporation the responsibility is of the CEO of the corporation.

This and similar fora are for letting off steam so no one boils over and takes drastic action.
Case closed.
