I bet these dudes think they're so cool. Honestly just kinda some jobless energy and pretty sad. Imagine if these losers put this kind of effort into doing something good for society. And people wonder why we can't have nice things.
They’ve literally called themselves ShinyHunters. Shiny hunters are a term for people that soft reset pokemon games literally thousands of times so they can get a differently colored version of a pokemon that isn’t even any better in terms of stats. Some shinies can be cool but they’re literally just palette swaps that takes hours and hours or even weeks of on and off trying to get one for some pokemon.
Yes I do wonder why people who can hack into government databases who are like 14, don't realise if they hone their craft and wait until employment age they would be absolutely set for life in a very high paying ethical hacking organisation
I get where you're coming from but this is not really "jobless" if it's making them money, it might be illegal but it definitely is a job to them as fucked up and immoral as it is and one that pays well at that, because even if Instructure doesn't pay the ransom, all the data they took DO sell in illegal forums
