Ask HN: Have people been punished vigilante-style for their Internet crimes?
I hear all these widely publicized stories about twitter and domain names being stolen, Bitcoin thefts, etc. and I also know that sometimes the 'bad actor' can be traced after investigating the theft. My question: Have there been cases of people punishing these online thieves in a vigilante way? I mean sometimes it is millions of dollars lost/stolen and I can imagine that at some point someone would stop at nothing to get punishment. Do we just not hear about these cases?
