According to new analysis from the cybersecurity firm Kaspersky, it appears that developers are the most sought after within the cybercrime ecosystem. The company’s researchers reviewed roughly 200,000 employment-related messages posted on 155 dark web forums between January 2020 and June 2022. The number of posts peaked in March 2022, possibly because of COVID-19-related lockdowns and income reductions in multiple countries. Nevertheless, job posts — both seeking employment and listing jobs — have exceeded 10,000 per quarter, the analysis found.
