What happened to Empress or whatever they were called?
I haven't paid close attention but I think she started a cult or something.
From what I understand, she received flak for her anti trans views and decided to call it quits. She is Russian, so maybe she was drafted into the war effort as a hacker, or mosy likely she got paid off by these companies.
Most crackers are in countries where extradition for this would be difficult even with solid evidence. Companies have changed tactic to just paying them off so they just don't do it, or so the rumor mill says. 200k a year to a handful of people is a drop in the bucket for the denuvo cartel.
On hiatus, apparently. Hasn’t cracked anything since July 2023. Not sure why.
