Yeah, I wasn’t going to go and call that case-closed; industry tactics exposed, story at 11:00. It’s a theory and intentional or not (misspellings) I think there’s a definite possibility it’s working as described in some cases.

I like the SaaS theory too, ransomware clearly operates using exactly that model… unfortunately there’s been a few investigations and a lot of it is just the intersection of actual and economic slavery. I suspect there’s some of what you propose as well, why not, right? If we can dream it up somewhere somebody’s probably trying it. But I’d also wager that once you achieve any real proficiency at this kind of low level scam, there’s opportunity in organized computer crime, spearfishing and pretexting scams, operations with more sophisticated planning.

Never even occurred to me but it seems obvious now thst you’ve mentioned it.

There are two broad groups of monkeypox virus that cause mpox infections: clade I and clade II.

This is… what even is this? A confusing attempt to destigmatize the diseases name? I think they should have gone with bigpox ;-)

Fine. You get an upvote for self improvement and being useful for once… but I’m still going to be bitchy about it 😊
