Wanted: Hackers For Large-Scale Attacks On American Banks
Trailrunner7 writes "RSA's FraudAction research team has been monitoring underground chatter and has put together various clues to deduce that a cybercrime gang is actively recruiting up to 100 botmasters to participate in a complicated man-in-the-middle hijacking scam using a variant of the proprietary Gozi Trojan. This is the first time a private cybercrime organization has recruited outsiders to participate in a financially motivated attack, said Mor Ahuvia, cybercrime communications specialist for RSA FraudAction. The attackers are promising their recruits a cut of the profits, and are requiring an initial investment in hardware and training in how to deploy the Gozi Prinimalka Trojan, Ahuvia added. Also, the gang will only share executable files with their partners, and will not give up the Trojan's compilers, keeping the recruits dependent on the gang for updates."
Can I apply right now?
Probably the law-breaking, savings stealing douchebage who packed up a bag of crap and sold it as AAA financial instruments while betting against it. However putting you heart close to either one will end up in misery.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the (supposed) good of its victims may be the most oppressive
They should be hacking banks using OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE and tools. (Strokes beard thoughtfully.) The use of proprietary, closed-source tools takes away from the common, computer using felon the ability to maintain his own malicious code.

May God the merciful grant you peace. You will be surprised to hear from me. I am MRS. HELENA SHOSTAKOVICH, widow of the late DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH of hacker fame. My dear husband past away two weeks ago, leaving behind 1,500,000 credit card numbers worth THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS US DOLLARS. As I am unable to realize this sum here in Russia, I have been authorized to advance into your bank account FIVE MILLION DOLLARS for assistance in retrieving this funds. The requirement from you, to show you are an honest man of principle and good faith, is an insignificant small purchase of hardware from the following list: ...
To avoid Putin's spies, I have retained agents in NIGERIA who will handle your transactions. Forward your credit card particulars to:

these guys must be morons if they think that they can keep 100 people quiet about anything
Timothy Olyphant's character worked that out with his scheme in Die Hard 4.
1) Hire 100 hackers
2) use their code to crack every bank and utility at once
3) kill the hackers.
4) profit!
Killing all his staff did leave him vulnerable to being tracked by Kevin Smith and taken down by a plucky former LAPD cop though.
Hmmm... Cyrillic & Simplified Chinese dont show quite as I expected :-(
