A long time ago we posted "we need more women writing malware" and Infosec people lost their mind.
They immediately proclaimed writing malware is a crime. They called us bad names. They compared it to "we need more female killers".
The very people who say "hAcKeRs aRe MiSunDeRsTooD" and "HAcKiNg iSnT a CrImE" picked on us, imposing the same fate "hacking" once had.
Interestingly, some of those people who insulted us, mocked us, called us bad names, are now suddenly for "maldev" and malware research. It's interesting that when we were unpopular and small, we were an easy target and picked on.
Now that we're one of the largest infosec social media profiles, suddenly maldev and malware research is cool.
They seem to have forgotten. We haven't forgotten.
