They risk our infrastructure and they steal or extort billions. I wouldnt feel bad if I read “Scam phone center destroyed in mystery explosion”
Not sure every government does it, but in the US, the FBI can and does do that. They are often responsible to taking down botnets and such:
Think more CIA, MI6… less “Law enforcement” than “We deny any involvement in these mysterious fatalities”
“It was like that when we got here 🤷🏻♂️”
“We were never there.”
Considering all the evil shit they have done over the decades…with little to no accountability or transparency…it would be refreshing if these 3 letter agencies pointed some of that dark machinery at other evil actors instead of, you know, innocent civilians.
Its not like they can fly the flag about the horrible shit they do FOR us that they get away with. I am a pretty firm believer in the “sausage factory” analogy.
I just wish these predatory bastards had to exist with more than just a little bit of fear in their lives that maybe, if they steal one too many grandmas life savings one day someones going to walk up behind them and show their brains the light of day.
It would help a lot if they did not hoard exploits, but made the software companies fix them.
