Well, I am hoping that these "predators" have some sense of good will and at least go after the most evil: big tech. Not all "bad guys" are completely immoral.



"Predators" have been going after big tech, and big tech has responded by hiring actually competent security engineers, which is why you don't see stories of Google Search or Netflix closing its web site until further notice.


And that is unfortunate. I hope they try harder.


I kind of doubt that even very-well-funded attackers such as Moscow and Beijing are able to take down Google Search or Youtube for a day.

Moscow for example was recently very angry at SpaceX / Starlink, but I've not heard of any problems with the web site of SpaceX or Starlink (even though Moscow can and does hire a lot of experts at cyberattack).

Sometimes the death star simply cannot be harmed by the rebels.
