Not sure what service you’re referring to but the file is here: https://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdnlist.txt
Have you ever witnessed this file being used by companies moving money stored in S3 as "shitlist2019.txt" for screening incoming transactions in production? Because that's what the article is alluding to.

That's a problem with the English language though. There's not a singular only version of "they" and there probably should be.

For those unaware, maia is a pretty prolific hacktivist, and it has been indicted by a grand jury for a variety of USA govt penetrations but has USA proceedings on hold until it's extradited, which it's confident won't happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maia_arson_crimew

Guys doesn't refer to men anymore, it's now a neutral word that can refer to both genders.

Like people using eMacs or vim these days
Not to start a flame war, but no, people use vim and Emacs because they're productive with them. I've certainly tried alternatives like vscode seriously and find I prefer vim.
I expected to read an article about actually owning an airline in 3 easy steps. :(

How such supposedly talented hacker end up to be doxxed? It's not that hard to become 99.99% anonymous online...
Technically easy, operationally virtually impossible - everyone will slip up eventually. Also, the need for recognition often drives any human endeavour - and that leads hackers, criminals, etc to boast of their exploits to at least someone … who might be under observation, or under pressure to give up information to escape severe punishment for their own activities.
TIL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maia_arson_crimew > In March 2021, crimew was indicted by a grand jury in the United States on criminal charges related to her alleged hacking activity between 2019 and 2021. The charges were unrelated to the hack of Verkada. Her home and her parents' home were raided by the Swiss police at the request of United States authorities, and her electronic devices were seized.
