Cybercrime as way of life --- Exactly! The cyberspace is so vast, so the more "modest" hackers can just "log in" and steal couple of thousands of $ (lets say 5.000-10.000)....this amount is so small in so vast cyberspace...I believe many law enforcement/s wont even bother to go after such cyber offenses that seem small, compared with large ransomware attacks (and probably a stockpile of other cases waiting to be investigated) and limited human investigator capacity. Having experience in fighting insurance fraud, I've learned that many criminals "activate" so to say "seasonally" (before summer or winter vacations) just to "earn" couple of thousands for a good quality vacation. I believe many cyber-criminals do the same.
