Infosecurity Magazine covered the Arkose Cyber Threat Intelligence Research (ACTIR) unit's discovery of Greasy Opal, a cybercrime enabler operating since 2009 that bundles CAPTCHA-solving, browser automation and social media manipulation tools into packages starting at $70. ACTIR researchers estimated the group generated at least $1.7 million in revenue in 2023, describing it as emblematic of a "gray zone" business model that profits from downstream illegal activity.
