Yeah - I know...I'm just pointing out that's not the only type of cybercrime. High value/High dollar hacks happened before crypto, and they'll happen after crypto...

Probably the biggest factor in the recent ransomware attacks has been the 'hacking as a service' sites that have been popping up for everything from botnets to ransomware. You can literally sign up with services that provide all the code and infrastructure required!

edit: There wasn't really less incentive, there was just different types of hacking. like hacking a companies accounting system and creating a vendor account for yourself..so you got paid, automatically every month.
