The 'get a life' being the most prominant part of that. If these hackers are that good, sell themselves as security test agents and test companies security, telling them where to plug the holes. With Sony being hacked I'm sure many companies will pay a lot to know their information is safe.

Trouble is most security firms won't hire anyone with a criminal history, the hacker becoming a security guy just doesn't happen anymore. Turns out people don't like the idea of known criminals having securty access...

Beside many hackers claim they hack stuff to show people vulnerabilities for free...

Valid points, but if you've never been caught then you have no criminal record, you just do it for the pleaseure/thrill but never steal or corrupt data. If these people are skilled enough, a good understanding and knowledge of how other hackers might work is a great incentive to hire you for a company to protect their information online. 

Then if the latter group exist, why are they not the ones to go around and do this to all the Sony websites? Good people who just want Sony to keep the information safe, tell Sony who then upgrade their software and firewalls without it breaking into the news. All we've seen are hackers who are thieves.
