Just reading this makes me anxious and sick to my stomach. It's also one of those times I'm glad I'm clueless to this kind of world. I don't think I could just sit back and do nothing if I had the knowledge and ability to do something about it. Dark Web PI of sorts w/killer keys to wipe them from the earth. Anyway......interesting read too.
it's a game of whackamole
we need more proactive education and try catch younger people before they head down that road
show them they can make a living staying on the right side while doing something they are interested in rather than letting them get sucked into the wrong side
Styx has quickly gained traction as a hub for various illicit activities, following the seizure of Genesis.
This underscores the need for e-commerce systems, digital banks, and payment portals to enhance their know-your-customer (KYC) checks and implement stringent fraud protections to safeguard against data breaches and illicit activities.
