Who was behind that stunning Twitter hack? State spies? Probably this Florida kid, say US prosecutors

I'M confused

So the story seems to be that Twitter, a large web based company, who employ probably, hundreds of security staff and software engineers have been hacked by three or four teenagers, presumably with no formal education in computer security.

This company seems to make money by offering a service to allow some of it's users to annoy the rest of it's users, who must like being annoyed or otherwise they would not use the service.

The security services of the US and UK are now busy basking in the glory of managing to trace these kids.

WTF

Why haven't we offered these kids jobs in counter espionage?
