The second though, there is just something in your gut that makes you feel like these men and women deserve to be found out. Not just because of the immorality but because of the stupidity of it all. How could you do something so stupid?
Yes. It is immoral AND stupid. If you do things online, you should not consider any of that actually private. It may seem that way for a while, but that is more illusion than reality. There are so many places where your actions can be accessed; in your computer, in your ISP, at the site you are dealing with, and every computer in between through which the data passes. If any one of those is hacked, your information is now in someone else's hands. And in the case of something like this, I believe the normal payment method is a credit card, so there is the credit card company that can be hacked as well. When you leave a trail a mile wide, you should not be surprised if someone becomes aware of your actions.
