I see a distant analogy with something I got to know from a private investigator. Burglars also changed their game in the similar spirit. Instead of stealing your big TV, jewelry or other physical goods they try to escalate the physical breach into digital one, e.g. installing spyware on your laptop instead of stealing it. Wiping a bank account pays better than stealing physical stuff.
