An amusing and informative article, at least for those of us who aren't in
CSI:TCP/IP, and/or run linux.

A quote from the article:
And they often live in an area where traditional, big-money computing
jobs are difficult to find.

Do those of you in CSI:TCP/IP anticipate that online crime syndicates
will form in the USA, as "big-money computing jobs" get offshored to
India, Viet Nam, China, etc?  The article mentioned Russia, Eastern
Europe, Brazil and Asia as physical locations.  I would presume by
"Asia" they meant "People's Republic of China", but given that weird
Titan Rain thing, one never knows.
