For the top groups, Spam is extremely profitable.

A lot of them were commissioned to spam knockoff viagra pills, or other pharmaceuticals and they take a % of all conversions. Hundreds of millions in total/yearly.

Other spam is outright scams as well or efforts by cybercrime groups to recruite money mules etc.

So I suppose it depends what type of spam you're referring to but as an whole in cybercrime its one of the oldest and most profitable.

Hey, this is more or less being done. The best bots/groups are bringing in comparable salary if not more than industry standard in their respective fields. If anyone is interested in developing Bots/Platform to secure limited items em masse, please shoot me an email at: sukh@zerosync.io

I have direct connects with some of the biggest sneaker storefronts, and looking for developers.

Essentially there was a hedge fund who was heavily short in GameStop stock to the tunes of many millions. Once the subreddit community of WallStreetBets started applying buy pressure it made the shorts either add more/cover; or have to sell and when they do it adds buy pressure to the book. Led to a big gamma squeeze and this fund got caught off guard with poor risk management and the stock surged so much letting the small joe win for once in a game of smoke screen tactics by larger funds

At this point I would wait for the new Apple M1s slated to come out in a few months. Apparently the current M1s have impressed many all around and probably worth the wait to at least see final specs and not have buyers remorse

To add on to this, it would be cool if someone could point to resources that one has to pay for but are generally high in quality/or more relevant to todays practices. Regardless of cost and something that is outside of traditional university courses.

BradfieldCS is cool, I wonder what other stuff is out there in sub fields like ML/DL, Reverse Engineering, Web Dev etc

For remote attacks what usually happens is the malicious actor will first get access to a banks network and from there pivot to the ATMs. Often times they have some remote tool to shoot off commands and so forth. The malware itself is rather basic and easy to understand-the security layer once remotely accessed is rather moot. Depending on the malware strain they can than program the ATM to be “cashed out” during certain time or even if certain cards will be inserted.
