So what is the modus operandi of online thieves and other criminals?
Stealing credit card numbers ,selling them to others who make up fake credit card numbers and buy high value postable goods and resell them to turn the stolen credit into clean cash.
Guns for hire who steal customer lists to order or deny service to compettitors for unscrupulous business owners .
Extortionists who deny service to organisations on the fringe of legality.
This may explain why i am into testing web application security controls, load balancers, web application firewalls, IDS etc
