"Cybercrime-As-a-Service Takes Off" (Slashdot)

[Paul Vixie <vixie () isc org>]

"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.'"
