FBI's Cyber Most Wanted List
The FBI just added two members of the Syrian Electronic Army to its cyber most-wanted list.
I had no idea that the FBI had a cyber most-wanted list.

I’ve heard it said that the Most Wanted was conceived as, and is yet, a marketing tool. They put people on the list who they believe they are close to apprehending. Then they catch them. Then they say “See? We CATCH our most wanted.”

It almost looks like a listing of my university professors and graduate assistants.
Do they still post these lists in U.S. post offices? Maybe they should post that list on the front page of their Web site. However you would not normally see these people committing criminal acts. Maybe if we see them on a park bench hastily tapping away on their keyboards?

Maybe the FBI also has an EXTREEEEME Most Wanted list – for the most Radical of radicals…

Why don’t they figure out who some of these cryptolocker menaces that hurt our hospitals, our critical infrastructure are? Why isn’t the NSA helping to find out who these cyber criminals are so that we can extradite them or have the CIA go extraordinary rendition on their asses?

“Maybe the FBI also has an EXTREEEEME Most Wanted list”
I’m sure they do, but they won’t release that list to the public since James Comey and every other head of the American intelligence agencies are on it for treason.

The FBI has had a Cyber most wanted list for a while now, but it is not who you would think it would be. Mostly the list was comprised of identity thieves from Russia and Ukraine. The recent addition of chinese hackers and now the Syrian Electronic Army makes the list a little more interesting now.

That would explain why Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are missing from the list.

Sorry: unauthorized possession and/or disclosure is quite different from actions that cause loss of finances or loss of life.

Listen, business is to fulfil demands.
If you want to stay in business you better grow than cut off demands 😉
