Psychiatric factors --- Hello Vlad. Adding on to what you said, I'd also bring up that underlying psychiatric conditions may be involved. In my times in IG spaces and other professional environments I met a handful of people who had a past in cybercrime — not to bring up any names, but one of them even worked for the police when we met — and there was a clear, evident level of mental illness involved. I'm talking about some level of antisocial personality disorder, bipolar or borderline personality disorder. If anything, I'd say that a level of mental illness can lead people towards making cybercrime a lifestyle. For them there really is a sort of aesthetic appeal to living as modern day rogues. There's also some level of egocentrism, or narcissism, to it.
