Tagging on I really recommend everyone read up on groups like the Com, 764, or O9A. It's impossible to describe these groups without sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist and yet they're all real.
"The Com" is not a distinct entity as medias like to describe it. These days it generally just refers to the anglosphere cybercrime community at large.
