👉 Weed computing, also known as cloud-based or distributed computing for illicit purposes, involves leveraging remote servers and networks to perform unauthorized data processing tasks, such as generating cryptocurrencies, creating deepfakes, or conducting illicit communications. Instead of using local hardware, which could be traced back to the user's physical location or device, weed computing harnesses the computational power of large-scale cloud infrastructures, often in jurisdictions with lax regulations or no enforcement. This approach allows perpetrators to obscure their identities and activities, making it challenging for law enforcement to track and prosecute them. By outsourcing these tasks to remote servers, weed computing effectively spreads the risk and complexity of detection across multiple nodes, complicating efforts to identify and dismantle the underlying criminal networks.
