Comment Are Black Hats incredibly nice? (Score 1) 143
It seems though Black Hats are described as "aggressive", they aren't particularly damaging; if you are a nobody, then you will be attacked and exploited quickly. However, lots of nobodies live without noticing this (?).
Certainly it's unsettling, but something wierd is going on if all these "malicious" people have lots of power and don't use it.
Makes me more friendly towards protocols that depend on goodwill for success. There's lots of stuff that is easier to do insecurely than securely, and sometimes this straddles feasible and infeasible.
