No, data exfiltration is just as lucrative as crypto. We are unfortunately long past the point where viruses would frequently be merely annoying.

- dawnerd 6mo agoJust about every exploited site I've had to deal with has been some form of crypto miner.
- da_chicken 6mo agoSure, because there's no reason not to, and because crypto mining is noisier than data exfiltration. That doesn't mean it's the most lucrative revenue stream.
