I know in some markets crime pays more than legitimate work, but it never ceases to amaze me how much thought, effort, planning, and engineering goes into providing infrastructure IT services for cybercriminals. The people involved definitely have the skills to be profitable at legitimate work; it just puzzles me that they choose to support criminals.

jarvis, whats the status of my dutch servers

The fuck, i walk past the office of mirhosting every day

It would be nice if they named/prosecuted the people who paid them to perform the attacks.
