I don't think they have gone into exactly the cyber-mafia. But there is a
group of very well connected people going round suggesting that there are
many companies doing 'hackback' from offshore locations so that it is
'legal'.

I am not willing to share the details except with active law enforcement.
But it sounded very much to me like it was a sales pitch for the services
in question.


It would not surprise me in the least if the company in question was
arranging hacking for political hits. In fact I am pretty sure they would
given their actions in government.

I am not the only person to have come to the same conclusion.
