So your saying someone who does security research but does not get paid is a researcher, but if someone else does the same research but they get paid their not a researcher?<p>So what if a security researcher is paid for their work? We don&#x27;t say Lawyers are not Lawyers because their being paid and not doing work pro bono.<p>Remember security research takes lot&#x27;s of time, skill and hardware they should be paid to do their work.
