       Cyber criminals are losing millions of dollars to other cyber criminals after themselves falling victim to scams on dark web forums, according to new analysis by @SophosXOps But this isn't just an opportunity to enjoy schadenfreude at the expense of online scammers and other cyber criminals, it's a chance to gain insight into how cyber criminals work, providing intelligence on what attacks are being employed and how to stop them. "Because forum rules demand proof to support scam allegations, wronged threat actors will often happily post screenshots of private conversations and source code, identifiers, transactions, chat logs, and blow-by-blow accounts of negotiations, sales, and troubleshooting," said Matt Wixey, senior threat researcher at Sophos.(Side note: I was looking forward to going to this talk at Black Hat Europe, but yesterday's panic attack about attending a con meant that didn't happen - shame, because the paper is really interesting!)https://www.zdnet.com/article/cyber-scammers-are-scamming-each-other-and-revealing-dark-web-secrets-along-the-way/
