"this article makes this sound like it's high-effort or high-skill."
It is.
Today.
Do not underestimate criminals. They have a full dark free market operating that you may be completely unaware of. The "Dark Web" is not just a media slogan. There is an entire economic ecosystem with high levels of specialization and structure already in it. There are already organizations smart enough to have people who can take this, productize it, and be the one selling the metaphorical shovels to the lower level criminals who buy this product and then take all the direct risks of doing the actual crime.
Today's high-skill attack is tomorrow's product.
- jszymborski 3y agoI don't doubt criminals are highly skilled or motivated, nor that "onion" and "hidden" sites exist. I'm just not seeing why they would need to employ either great skill or motivation in this case. Just saying the task does not seem very difficult, but is described as being so. Would be happy to learn why it would be though!
