Williams’ crimes are not isolated to one young hacker who had more money than he knew what to do with. Nor is his story only about the rise of one group like ACG, which continues to strike fear into the broader community it is a splinter of, known as the “Comm.” Williams is part of a rapid and massive convergence between two traditionally separate sectors of crime. People like Willams have combined the frictionless, sophisticated world of cybercrime with the blunt brutality of physical violence, sprouting an entirely new area of the underground where essentially anything is possible. Hackers are no longer just people behind a keyboard. They have guns now, and innocent people are getting hurt.
