Security Strategy When The Fear Of Getting Caught Doesn't Exist | Fortinet Blog

There was an intriguing post over at KrebsOnSecurity last week that involved the site tracking down the Russia-based author of a tool designed to help cyberthieves evade fraud detection systems. (Yes, such tools certainly have legitimate IT purposes, but that's not how this tool was being positioned and sold.) The point of the Krebs piece was how relatively easy it was to find this guy, despite the targeted one doing a decent job of keeping quiet. But there's a much more frightening point for security and IT people in general: Cyberthieves today—especially the lot based in Eastern Europe—have almost no fear of getting caught and they worry even less about law enforcement doing anything about them if they are caught.
