4 The Lulz
- saulrh 15y agoFor me, the most interesting paragraph was at the very end: Not many, if any, of the people I know from back then made it big in tech. The ones that stayed in security disappeared, working for people I’m too scared to ask about. I've heard things like this often enough from people reputable enough that it could be true. What I never hear, though, is how often. If you're really good enough to steal a hundred million credit card numbers from Sony, break into Lawrence Livermore, or build a ten-million-node botnet... what are your chances? And how many people a year pull it off? [disclaimer: I'm just a curious infosponge, not a cracker. I probably couldn't do stuff like this if I wanted to.]
