the elites seem to be throwing money at anything they are told will make them more money, i dont think they can claim a higher moral ground. and to be fair, software is still the most impactful tool, for any sector. It's unfortunate th

security is notoriously asymmetric and a continuous arms race, so it's rarely a case of "allowing it to happen". There is a case to be made for making it unprofitable for hackers to run such operations. The law here does the
