Potentially unpopular opinion here, but one explanation for how youngsters are able to this stuff is that it’s not actually that hard to do these sorts of attacks.
It’s hard to do these attacks and get away with it, but actually many of these kids do not get away with it, at least if they are based in Western nations that actually try to stop it. But investigations move slowly and so there is a time gap where it looks like they did.
In other words I think the explanation is as much “young men overestimate their abilities” as it is talent for doing this type of work. Specifically their ability to get away with it.
- liendolucas 2y agoI was thinking not only about what you said but maybe it's just kids that have access to exploits/tools/techniques but not a very deep knowledge to put all these things just by themselves... Sort of script kiddies on batteries, but is just a guess/opinion of my own and could be wrong.
