This isn't just a "Russian" thing.
- bediger4000 14y agoSo, we take you at face value, with no citations or other authority? What if you're one of the Russian cybercriminals? Or that hacker that the Georgian CERT unmasked? So, +1 for vaguely menacing vagueness.
- lucas-beyer 14y agoThe OP article has no citations or sources either, do you take it at face value? Edit: Another commenter linked to the original report.
- andyakb 14y agohe needs citations and authority to say that it isnt only russian with an underground economy for cyber crime?
- verroq 14y agoHow about hackforums, or as everybody calls it, skidforums.
- saym 14y agoYour comment reminds me of a phrase I really like: "Being vague is almost as cool as this other thing."
- ksaitor 14y agoI'd love to learn about examples of particular socio-economic reasons in particular countries for cybercrime being more mature than IT business.
- defun 14y agoHmm, did I understand correctly that you think that in Russia cybercrime is more mature than IT business?
- ksaitor 14y agoI don't exactly think so. I'm referring to places where people prefer intellectually hard, risky, unethical and damaging work (eg cybercrime) instead of working legally on creating valuable products and companies. I was interested to learn about examples of places and detailed descriptions of circumstances that lead to similar consequences.
