I believe the passwords came from the 2012 LinkedIn breach and was referring to the original criminals. If you have the criminal energy to steal that data you might as well use it. I don't think there was anything white hat about that incident.
- toyg 10y ago> If you have the criminal energy to steal that data you might as well use it. No no no. Any self-respecting criminal will not gain directly from a break-in, but rather sell the goods on to someone with a credible laundering story (or at least someone who will put further space between him and the goods).
- jacquesm 10y ago> Any self-respecting criminal will not gain directly from a break-in, but rather sell the goods on to someone with a credible laundering story I think that contains a contradiction.
- toyg 10y agook, "will not gain from directly leveraging goods acquired in a break-in against the same victims of such break-in". Thieves usually don't try to sell your TV back to you, and the ones who do are widely mocked. But you know what I meant.
