Have you tried that yourself?
Especially as someone who has the skills but doesn't speak the language.
I know people who can't relocate because of communication issues and/or cultural differences.
No they aren't criminals, but they are definitely underpaid compared to those who managed to relocate.
- sharkoz 3y agoIf they operate botnets, I think it's fair to call them criminals
- colinsane 3y agoprobably, or if they aren’t directly criminals they’re probably facilitating criminals. but if you were very particular about it you could in theory set up in a country which doesn’t have treaties with any of the countries in which the victims operate.

- ExoticPearTree 3y agoIt is only criminal if the botnets are used to steal something. DDoS-in just for fun is at most an annoyance.
- grog454 3y agoYeah, hospitals can't stand that kind of thing...
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoThey should have better IT. Blaming it on the people that knock them off will not make improve the situation.
- ajcp 3y agoSo your logic is: condemning people for criminal behavior is not useful because it de-incentivizes their victims from being vigilant against that criminal behavior. Am I getting that right?
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoNo. My logic is that when it comes to computers, it's a battle of the brains: who is smarter than the other one. And the result is usually a novel way of attacking someone, and then finding novel ways to defend and on and on. So that's why I strongly believe in hiring smarter people to defend your castle, rather than swatting people smarter than you because you're not as smart as the other side.
