12storiez was subjected to a cyberattack and lost nearly 50 million because of it. Honestly, from an entrepreneurial perspective, cybercriminals have very cool opportunities: - A huge market where "clients" definitely have money. By clients, I mean businesses. - It's very easy to find a client to whom you can make a "KP." By KP, I mean penetrating the company's perimeter, so most companies simply have a total indifference to cybersecurity risks. The conversion rate is small because most prefer not to pay, but it all pays off with those who do. And in terms of cybersecurity professionals, the niche is even cooler: — Cybercriminals bring clients to you — Clients are willing to pay any amount when one place is on fire — Clients are unlikely to leave you In the end, they make money both from the recklessness of some, the greed of others, and the incompetence of third parties. The perfect combo 😀
