19 and 25, eh?

I suspect they will be doing some serious rolling-over on their buddies. The cops really don't like it, when you hack them.

They can't narc even if they want to.

In these online crime communities and other groups are lousy with feds everyone suspects everyone else is a fed and engages in opsec to protect themselves accordingly. Anything they "know" about the people they talk to and work with is going to be mostly stuff the glowies have reported long ago.

Then they are well and truly intercoursed.

I like this turn of phrase. Will employ in future.

If you're referring to the guys on Raidforums etc.. I used to hang round there a bit to see who was getting breached, and most, including some that leaked some serious stuff for payment, have really poor opsec. They all use discord installed on their PC which they use to brag about their crimes, you can tell they aren't using it anonymously because the app is installed on their PC and they all have their gamer tags/spotify accounts connected. They were all using BTC as well last time i checked.. not even Monero.. oh and their site got seized with all that transaction history. I don't doubt that some are serious, but most of them are NGMI and many have already been arrested.
