Have you called the FBI's cybercrime unit?

The FBI couldn't find their own ass with both hands, a map, and a guide.

Zotob.
For example.

More recently, the FBI was essential unit in an international operation that dismantled one of the largest (more than 400,000 images and videos were posted, traded, and trafficked) and most sophisticated child exploitation rings in history.

But, yea, whatever, people that have already made up their minds don't easily change them.

Cybercrime?
I first heard about it in the 1980s.

So they got 1, out of 100 groups out there. Or lets be fair, 50 groups. That's a 2% sucess rate. Bravo.

Or lets just say, this report only represents 1 out of every 10 sucessful efforts that makes. That's still at best 20%, which is still *gasp* phenominally poor.

Sorry, I have no respect for the Fuck-Brained Idiots, pardon my language, mostly because they're too worried about some things, not enough in others, and generally make a nuisance for even honest people. They do only enough homework, when they're after someone, to get by.

Oh, and welcome.

Oh.
Don't I feel sheepish.
Hopefully only recently. Less time, less damage.
Usually.
But everybody that ever did business with them needs to execute a
serious security audit of their systems.

I don't know how many?
Do you?
Perhaps you should tell them, and not me.

Difficult crime to combat.
Seizure rates are low across the crime fighting spectrum from cybercrime to narcotics.
Doesn't mean they're not doing a good job; doesn't mean that they're useless or even worthless.
They have a hard job to do.
If it were easy, crime wouldn't be a problem, would it?

Don't let that bad taste in your mouth cloud your judgment or anything.

It's not really a matter of judgement, but statistics. I actually work with different branches of Law Enforcement from time to time, I just have no love/respect for the FBI.

Personally, I've worked with a few different sherriff's departments, the Texas Rangers, and a few others. Now, I do have a very healthy respect for the FBI's HRT. Those guys are good, even if they don't get much real practice these days, or at least that we see. Then again HRT recruits from S.W.A.T., SEALs, Rangers, Delta, RECON, and other special teams.
Hostage Rescue Team is a group that I would not want to tangle with.

You can't really talk about matters of statistics and shadow paramilitary units in the same breath.
What statistics are out there regarding Delta units success rate?

HRT isn't shadow.

If I knew what Delta's operational tempo and sucess rate was, I'd either be one, in Leavenworth, or my memories would be on the wall, so to speak.

And their success ratio?
Is Ruby Ridge a win?
Waco, Texas?

I sure wouldn't want to tangle with them either.
My house can't stand up to a tank.
My dog can't stand up to a sniper.

I forgot about Waco.

*scratches head*

Probably why they haven't been heard from, or at least part of it. A Press nightmare like that would certainly choke the life out of their funding.

Anything new DK?

Crime and criminals are infuriating.
May the thieves, bandits, and scoundrels responsible for this be brought to justice.
