Seriously? More of *This* Shit.
Right, so listen up, you lot. Apparently, some cops – and I use that term loosely – managed to snag $439 million stolen by a bunch of digital lowlifes. Four-hundred-and-thirty-nine million dollars. Big whoop. It took them… how long? Years, probably. And it’s all thanks to some coordinated effort across multiple countries because these criminals aren’t exactly leaving breadcrumbs for the authorities.
The usual suspects are involved: romance scams (idiots falling for online bullshit), investment fraud (even bigger idiots), and good old-fashioned malware distribution. They even managed to take down a “crypto mixing” service, which is just a fancy way of saying they shut down a money laundering operation for these scumbags. Like that’ll actually stop anything.
They’re patting themselves on the back about “disrupting” criminal networks. Disrupting? Please. These guys will be back online tomorrow with new servers and even more convincing lies. It’s a goddamn hydra, I tell you! And it’s all our fault for having internet access.
Oh, and they recovered some crypto too. Because of course they did. Like anyone actually *knows* what to do with that stuff beyond bragging about it on Twitter. It’s a never-ending cycle of theft, seizure, and more theft. Honestly, I’m starting to think the internet was a mistake.
Speaking of idiots, I once had a user try to convince me their password was “password123”. I didn’t even bother explaining the security implications. Just locked the account and moved on. Some people deserve to get hacked. Don’t be that person.
