The lure of easy, hard-to-trace, illicit riches will continue to attract some of the most brilliant but devious minds out there and getting ahead of these criminal rings will require some serious out of the box methods. What about flooding these networks with misinformation? If you can create an environment where no one can trust anyone within the network, then maybe you can staunch the activity altogether.

Instead for waiting for mole to pop up, we need to infiltrate the hacker community to retrieve up-to date crimes. It seems that we would need to use the same unethical cyber behavior that the criminals are using in order to get ahead. I guess I am saying is that we need to hack the hackers. We need to think like criminals in order to fight the criminals.
