Cybercrime-As-a-Service Takes Off

pnorth writes "Malware writers that sell toolkits online for as little as $400 will now configure and host the attacks as a service for another $50, according to email offers cited by security experts. A technical account manager at authentication firm Vasco said that cyber crime is becoming so business-like that online offerings of malicious code often include support and maintenance services. He said 'it was inevitable that services would be sold to people who bought the malware toolkits but didn't know how to configure them. Not only can you buy configuration as a service now, you can have the malware operated for you, too.'"

Re:Someone should tell this story

Telling the true story and being trolled for it, on a forum like this really is the only way I can think of to do ANYTHING about this BS.

Then you are not being creative enough. Here is a much better place to complain about it. Basically, all TV providers will give you trouble. Just do what I do and stop watching TV. :)
