"I'm trying to spark a debate, or a healthy conversation, about what we can do as an industry. Everybody's glorifying threat actors, and that's not helping our customers or organizations. These are just individuals, they just use computers, and they just want to steal your data and make money. They're not mythical. They don't have superpowers."
"We don't want to glorify them, what's the opposite we can do? We're going to roast them. While these incidents are genuinely amusing, they represent real criminal activities causing significant harm. This content is for threat intelligence and educational purposes only."
Cybercrime crews are often portrayed as mystical entities by security vendors, but industry leaders like Jen Easterly and John Fokker argue against this glamorization. They emphasize that these groups are simply individuals using computers to steal data for profit. Fokker advocates for a shift in perspective, suggesting a more realistic approach to discussing these criminals. Trellix has initiated the 'Dark Web Roast' to mock these groups, using humor to highlight their actions while acknowledging the serious harm they cause.
