    Kind of.

    Don’t assume everyone perusing the forum is knowledgeable about cybersecurity, let alone a professional.

    Ffs, I’m there & very very clueless, and though I wouldn’t have been lured by this, it is likely that there are subscribers who are considerably more naive than I who might fall for such a thing & there’d even be some who’d click in the erroneous belief that nothing dodgy would be posted there.

    Meantime, stupid children do attempt to learn how to obtain & deploy these things. Most remain stupid, or just grow out of the desire to run malicious hacks, but some develop actual skills, including in assessing how to select targets.
