Comment on The Fall of Hacker Groups

Has it just not moved east?

Hackers in the west, of any hat-shade, are jaded and cynical now, having been through 20+ years of watching (especially in the US) the responses change exponentially.

In the east, from Sudan, through the middle east, to India, you see a lot of the same behavior as was here in the 90s, which the older crowd in the USA or Europe have moved past, everything from being super psyched about being on Microsoft/Googles security help lists, to having names with more numbers in than my model datasets.

The environment here has moved on, in some ways, become more business oriented, and "professional" whereas in the those countries, it is still all fresh and exciting and new, without the governmental and corporate behavior we have all come to know and love in the USA and to a lesser extent, Europe.
