44. Throwing bricks for $$$: violence-as-a-service comes of age

44. Throwing bricks for $$$: violence-as-a-service comes of age

Published 3 years, 6 months ago
Description

We go back to an episode we did earlier this year about a gang of SIM swappers who are behind something called violence-as-a-service. Doxing or defacing websites, they told us, just doesn’t send enough of a message. So, they are throwing molotov cocktails or slashing tires of their rivals instead. Trouble is – it is getting more popular and commonplace and is bound to affect the rest of us.
