Even since the legalization of hacking under the guise of ethical hacking there has been an increase in number of cyber attacks and fraud.

Almost anyone with sound programming skills can be a millionaire overnight.

Did you read the comment that gave birth to mine? Did you ask the fellow why he would say such? There are a thousand new ways to make money online without being a fraud but someone in 2025 is saying people that work from home are fraudstars? Yet we wonder why our police behave like they do.

if you can use the Internet and can even read and comment on topics, then you should not be carrying cement on your head in this new era except in cases of extreme lack of opportunity, it should not be something to do.

You smell it? That's jealousy.

If you like carry cement for head in 2025 and keep hating those that have embraced new ways of making money.
how do the two highlighted items mean the same thing?

One thing these fraudsters don't know there is a certain amount of money or people you steal from, and they will come after you.

You cleverly left out the part where I let you know my comment was a response to someone's post and now here you are but I see through the shenanigans.

Your inability to see the correlation is not a shock to me. Many people move around with the same deficiency and that is why many are stuck with the mindset that tells them it is cool to carry cement like people used to do 5,000 years ago, Yet they have Internet access and can even read & type on a modern device.

Explaining the correlation to you would lead to a full life chaning seminar and you have pay me to do that.

since you are not among the "many people move around with the same deficiency", I am surprised that you cant draw a correlation between your own words and comments.

is this not the response that you say I left out?

It is a lie...
Ah my brother don't be so sure o. The Titanic was built by an engineer who beat his chest and boasted that the ship he built was unsinkable yet on its maiden voyage, the ship sank with the said engineer among the casualties. The Trojans thought they were invincible till the Greeks got in their city with what they venerate and ransacked the city. Years ago a boy hacked NASA or one big tech giant and they were trying to find the hacker who dare do this only to discover the hacker was a minor!!
One thing I've learnt about Cyber stuff is that nothing is secure. Every system or server can be hacked!! All it takes is one daredevil with an imaginative mind and the technical knowledge to back up his imagination and voila!!
Like I said in an earlier post on this thread, it's the crazy ideas that end up making sense. Some day, somewhere, someone will attempt this idea of mine. I don't know who that person is but I'll gladly read about it and smile!!!

I'm yet to understand why the United States government allow foreigners domiciled in the states to still roam free when it's very easy to apprehend them.

Reminds me of Hushpupi. I don't know why fraudstars have this tendency to always flaunt their ill gotten fortune on the internet, leaving a trail for law agencies to get them. There must either be a spirit behind this or a Psychological theory that can explain it
The psychological theory is that they do want to be caught, believe it or not. They are fed up of their heart beating faster every time they open a door or a door is opened around them.

They expect to be caught, they have a small, very small belief that they will get away with it so they don't hand themselves in.

Effectively, they want to be caught so they throw themselves out there.

The first night hushpuppy spent in his custody cell was the first time in a long time he enjoyed his sleep.

Egemasi is our sister from sw
Lol. "From SW" indeed. All some of you know is to follow your primordial instinct of hatred alway whereas you'd be better off working on improving your knowledge, intellect and worth to yourself and society.

Lol. For where? FBI resemble EFCC or NPF? She'll get similar time to Hushpuppi 8 to 11 years.

Correct. FBI mainly gets involved where signifanct amount of money is involved and the work of syndicates.

100% correct. Many on LinkedIn flaunt fake CVs and records of 'professional achievements' that are like 60 to 80% false.

Not necessarily, they get involved in offences that span multiple states and have jurisdiction in certain things even if it only happened in one state.

The amount doesn't matter.

Yes I agree but I am specifically talking high-level syndicate-linked and sophisticated financial crime. Even the case of Hushpuppi is a good example.

They snared him, Mr.Woodberry etal and even initiated an extradition order for 'super cop' Abba Kyari with the Buhari Government coming to his rescue to thwart the US.

The amount matter and becomes urgent if it is large and involving syndicate-linked criminalty capable of underming banking and financial system.

Hushpuppi and co have been defrauding Banks and lanre organisations for ages but FBI created a team to take them down when they targeted covid 19 welfare payment to vulnerable Americans.

They had to, as a matter of urgency, stop the criminals behind jeopardising a system used for the disbursement of money to Americans who really neede them yet a criminal gang had infiltrated to steal.

Invictus Obi, same applies.
