Don't lump me in with antivaxxers just because I'm being critical of something. Even if I'm not an expert I'm an experienced software developer and a generalist. This is a plausible suspicion and even then, look at the answers: most of them boil down to yeah, hackers cover tracks, but sometimes they screw up and leave behind clues - which really means we may only be catching the shitty ones. It's exactly the kind of business that potentially could be populated by dishonest and/or overconfident people, like people have been doing with arson for decades. There's the same lack of verifiability - you can finger a group, but how often do you get any sort of confirmation?

In any case, the fact that "anti vaxxers" use certain lines of questioning doesn't mean that the truth seeking methods are themselves suspect. Some people are pessimists, and rightly so; isn't that what hacking is all about?
