I'm not surprised by this (meth addicts using cybercrime to fund their habbit) - as I've said to people 'Anything crime in the physical world will happen in the cyberworld...and new ones'. You can go nuts comparing physical with cyber anologies...I'm too tired to put any here but there are lots of them.
What I find more fascinating is that for some reason, people still have a hard time letting go of old perceptions. That perception being that only educated people have computers. Reality is that a computer is very much like a car - *everyone* has access to one, even the dirt bags, criminals, sexual preditors, freaks, snake oil salemen, etc.

I was just slightly surprised that meth addicts would still have enough brains left to run a scheme like this. 'Course when one gets desperate or the need is strong enough - then I would surmise that a lot can be accomplished... except kicking the habit and moving on with life.
What do you get when you mix a former and disgruntled IT guy who is broke, a heavy meth user, and a company he helped to create?:confused:
A sorry excuse for a human being who looks to tarnish a companies image by robbing it of customer information so he can profit from it and buy more meth to support his endless habit. His only concern seems to be how he can obtain more drugs to feed his addiction. Since he still knows some of the names and passwords at the company he helped to build, he decides to do a line or two of meth, throw basic human decency to the wind and sets off on a data mining bindge of the servers he helped to set up. After which he runs credit on the unknowing public and sets out to destroy their fragile lives without any consideration for anyone other than his drug addict self. What a low life, scum of the earth!
If computers run the world what happens when those in charge of the computers run on meth? :confused:
Those poor masses of people, unaware of the drug addict handling their personal information.
:mad: Need to get out some anger....beat a meth addict sensless! I know I want to!
If these guys are good informational gathers... I bet the CIA could use some tips ;)
