Thank you, I appreciate it. It is very unlikely that FIN7 are aware of their successful exploitation of the golden triangle. They almost certainly just pursued what worked best for them, creating a lean mean cybercriming machine along the way. (And isn’t that the real treasure?) Financially motivated crimes are essentially businesses, and so sometimes it can be useful to use business frameworks to understand the criminal enterprise. Fortunately FIN7 happen to be a particularly well documented, making such analysis possible. I don’t really know what to say re: your meta comment. I wrote some posts for them under contract. I had complete editorial control. I have no idea if it is easier than in other fields. None of the other posts (not posted yet) are about “scary” topics, so I’m not sure if the observation is correct.
