Malware Gangs Run Ads To Hire New Coders
An anonymous reader writes "Think crime doesn't pay? Think again: an increasingly common sight on underground cybercrime forums are ads paid for by malware writers who are looking to hire talented new programmers. The most common ads are for 'crypters' designed to disguise known malware, and 'Web injects,' plug-ins made to run alongside crime kits like ZeuS and SpyEye. Salaries range from $2,000 to $5,000 monthly, health benefits not included."
I haven't been reading slashdot for that long, but I think this is one of the most honest posts I've ever read. Kudos, sir.
What "poor me, I've made some stupid decisions with my life such that I can only work illegally, therefore I wouldn't mind doing this illegal work"? Fuck off.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
