          Those texts are more annoying that those from politicians, but not by much.

            Another "infiltrate the hackers" story.

            How a cybersecurity researcher befriended, then doxed, the leader of LockBit ransomware gang

            Jon DiMaggio used sockpuppet accounts, then his own identity, to infiltrate LockBit and gain the trust of its alleged admin, Dmitry Khoroshev.
