It’s so weird. I can never bring myself to truly blame the hacker in these instances. If you can call up a random company as an 18 year old, and do anything that costs them $100-200M that’s the fault of the company. If you decided to stick all your saving in crypto instead of a bank account, then I just don’t have any sympathy for you.
That’s not to say that it is good or desireable, but…
- MountDoom 1y agoAs an 18 year old arsonist, you can set a commercial building on fire and cause tens of millions in damages. Is that the fault of the owner? I don't know why, but we all have a much stronger moral compass when it comes to the real world than to the internet. It's not just cybercrime, the standards of civility are completely different too.
- Aeolun 1y agoNo, it’s like owning a bank and leaving your vault door open, then blaming people that take something out. Yes, it’s still technically illegal, but it’s also an unforgivably stupid thing to do as a bank. It’s like that commercial building having a few tanks of gasoline standing right next to the valuable merchandise. Like having a few thousand tons of ammonia nitrate stored in your dockside warehouse next to fireworks, then making surprised potato face when it explodes.
- elisbce 1y agoYeah, blame the victims for not protecting themselves enough. How familiar.
