What is exactly? It's an industry with lots of money (100s of billions USD) flowing through with little oversight and cheap startup costs thanks to cloud vendors and commodity tech.

If there are criminals willing to invest intense effort committing physical crimes, it's expected that there would be a just as much put into something like this. Similar to a lot of the bitcoin/crypto dealings where there is plenty of organized crime involved.
