Despite reacting quickly, attackers were able to export a mailing list for Hunt’s personal blog.

Hunt has detailed the attack and warned his subscribers in a timely fashion.

One of the worst parts is that sometimes the police are on the scammers payroll, making it hard to take action. It would likely take an international effort to even make a dent against these kinds of places. They make a ton of money off these scams so its going to keep happening.
