Happy Monday Crunch, our Crunch-a-licious friends! Our favorite part of Lorenzo's excellent piece on how the feds busted a cybercrime forum: "In a spectacular snafu on the hacker's part . . . the second piece of evidence came from Pompompurin himself. . . . He said he noticed a data breach posted on the site did not include ‘one of my old emails,’ which he looked up on the legitimate data breach notification site Have I Been Pwned.” Go get 'em. Or, if your business is more of avoiding than getting, go avoid 'em! — Christine and Haje | | Image Credits: maciek905 | | |
