organizations recruiting teenagers to do the dirty work

Are criminal hacking organizations recruiting teenagers to do the dirty work? www.pandasecurity.com/en/mediac… Yes, they are. It has been confirmed that many of the popular hacking organizations that have been terrorizing the world over the last few years have been actively recruiting teenagers and young adults located in Western countries. The hackers offer monetary compensation in crypto funds if the youngsters agree to help commit criminal acts, such as infecting companies with ransomware. The foreign cyber-criminal groups are not particularly looking for elite hackers, but for anyone willing to do the job. The hackers pretend to be part of fake businesses that offer teenagers lucrative crypto payments, free training, and “easy money” if they do as they are told without asking many questions. In most cases, what they are being told to do is illegal.
