Hell yeah they will, honestly it's about time we did some more aggressive offensive security operations.

But what does crypto have to do with criminals? Criminals just need to up their op sec game, they know that. BTC dropping is only related insofar as this stupid correlation is getting pushed hard in the media right now.

> But what does crypto have to do with criminals?

Criminals are basically the only group making widespread use of Bitcoin as a currency rather than as an asset class.

I don't know enough to dispute that, but I am fairly skeptical that's true.
Who is buying stuff directly with Bitcoin? Companies buying out of ransomware, and maybe some HODLers buying Teslas.
