Summary
This academic paper examines how inadequate monitoring systems can create conditions where the fit between tasks and technology (how well a tool matches what users need to do) becomes exploited for illegal purposes like dark-web money laundering. The research suggests that when oversight mechanisms fail, organizations may unknowingly enable their systems to be used for criminal activities.
