Rating of the most ridiculous mistakes of cybercriminals

This week we have already written two posts about hackers: Blackshades developer and members of the Chinese PLA Unit 61398. We offer a little rest from the success stories of hackers and look at their less advanced colleagues.

Here is a rating of 5 idiots - cybercriminals and ordinary lovers fool around, not forgetting the technology:

1. How to get to jail, claiming to steal your own laptop? It is easy if you specify 30,000 foreign accounts in the list of lost valuable data. Lost laptop and freedom "hacker" was genuinely surprised by the "arbitrariness" of the police: "Accounts - this is about the same as music on the Internet, they are stolen by all who are not lazy."
2. Under similar circumstances, another character in the rating stalled - an amateur porn. He “caught” an extortioner Trojan with “classic” accusations of watching porn and ... went to the police station to find out if he was really accused of storing prohibited content. Having studied the computer, the police found the correspondence and candid photos of minors.
3. A 19-year-old robber entered the house in the absence of the owners and stole two diamond rings for a total of more than $ 3,500. It was not difficult to find him - the young man logged into his Facebook account from a computer in a strange house, changed his status to “happy” and closed the browser without even leaving his account.
4. Talented phishers easily deceive their victims, but most of their colleagues are deprived of the gift of persuasion. In the collection of senior analyst ESET David Harley there are several email, the authors of which composed the headlines (like "I am waiting for your response" or "I am a partner for biz") and simply duplicated them in the body of the letter.
5. Lie down on the bottom, robbing three banks in eight days? No matter how wrong! After correcting the financial situation, the hero immediately went to Facebook. He published his own photo in clothes used in robberies, with a gun in his hands, and also shared his joy: “I bought my first house and a chopper ... Life is beautiful!”

On this optimistic note, the rating can be completed.
