To the casual observer, cybercriminals can look like swashbuckling geniuses.
They possess technical skills formidable enough to penetrate the networks of the biggest companies on the planet.
They cover their tracks using technology that is arcane to most people—VPNs, encrypted chat apps, onion routing, aliases in dark web forums.
So he was caught and told he was caught and then 6 days later they arrested him. During the intervening time he was free to go and buy another laptop.
The idiot reckoned that because of “military law” he could go AWOL to not get arrested, yet when he was told that he had been caught, he did nothing. Intellectual juggernaut this guy
Cops have a saying, “We don’t catch the smart ones.” It is self selection, a lot of it.
That saying started with the recruitment process, that it also applies to the criminals is just a natural consequence.
It’s kind of concerning actually that that’s what the military can produce. Someone with the self preservation instincts of the depressed lemming.
Googles “how to defect to Russia” just to see what happens
Does it on a public network on Android then tells everyone on Telegram.
The FSB wants to know your location, you have been drafted for the special military operation.
But don’t worry you’re definitely not be thrown into combat you’ll be a welder or something. 😉
Can’t tell if it’s a dumb hacker or a lazy frame job.
Thanks for this. It’s a great read. I love how his name is Wagenius! Same as me, but I’m not related. Not that I know of anyway. I just sent my mom a text asking her if we are related to this dude! lmao
You’re not going to believe this, but I’ve got an even better suggestion! Easy to remember too: it’s just one word, and it happens to be the same the previous advice started with.
Ah, the brand new technology: an alias
At least use Yandex.
So Wagenius is the bad version of Genius, like in Wario and Waluigi?
Bing it!
Don’t search that on ddg unless you’re on tails/qubes.
