[Themaintainers] Even the criminals...

[Jeff Borisch]

"Depictions of cybercrime often revolve around the figure of the lone
‘hacker’, a skilled artisan who builds their own tools and has a deep
mastery of technical systems. However, much of the work involved is now in
fact more akin to a deviant customer service or maintenance job. This means
that exit from cybercrime communities is less often via the justice system,
and far more likely to be a simple case of burnout."
