Cyber Crime Expands: Hackers can rent Botnets ??
If the unlimited virus concerns are troubling you, then there's more. Now, botnets are available on rent for as cheap as $67 for 24 hours or $9 for an hour. This empowers anyone to launch distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, sell fake antivirus software and relay spam to unsuspecting email users via millions of compromised PCs.
The cyberpunks are unanimously, hawking their wares via online forums and banner advertising. This readily reduces the barriers to entry for criminals who can't code, empowering relatively unskilled cyber criminals to inflict major damage and financial loss. "Organizations need to be wary of the fact that their critical online applications or services could be taken down in under a day by a criminal renting services from bot herders," said Rick Howard, director of intelligence at iDefense, a VeriSign's security intelligence service. It was an iDefense report that highlighted the entire botnet selling picture.
The business impact is witnessed when it's revealed that Zeus, a botnet which is around 3.6 million compromised PCs in the U.S. alone, is sold in the criminal underground as a kit for around $3,000-4,000. In June 2009, security company Prevx discovered that Zeus had compromised over 74,000 FTP accounts on websites of such companies as the Bank of America, NASA, Monster, ABC, Oracle, Cisco, Amazon, and BusinessWeek The full-fledged botnet comes with different add-ons and price tags for, instance an upgrade for attacking Windows 7 or Vista is priced at $2,000 or for Jabber IM broadcasting to receive stolen data in real time it costs $500. So, soon any whiz kid, who wants to opt for easy money can ease his appetite with a little cash, at the cost of financial security of others.

WHAT YOU NEED:
• A Facebook Account
• A Freelancer Account
• An Account on any CPA network
6 STEP METHOD:
1. Login to your CPA network (for example CPALead.com). Browse through all of the offers with “first page submit” short forms where you get paid per lead. The reason for this is because people are most likely to fill out a short first page form than a long 3 page submit. These offers usually payout between $2 to $5. Find offers that have good looking landing pages that are trustworthy and easy to fill out. The less personal information the user has to submit the more likely they are to fill out your offer.
2. Login to your Facebook account and create a fan page. The name of your fan page should attract the type of people who are likely to fill out your CPA offer. This is one of the most cost effective ways to target people on Facebook. REMEMBER: the name of your page is what attracts your target market. Then go to Google images and select an appropriate image for your group. Make sure to find an image that is professional looking (think stock image quality). Save this image to your desktop. Choose the appropriate category for your page, publish it, upload your image to the profile picture, and fill out the information on your “Info” tab.
3. Login to your Freelancer account and post a project for someone to “add fans” to your Facebook fan page. You’re essentially hiring a promoter or someone to do the work for you. Your title should read something like: “I need someone to add 100,000 fans to my Facebook page.” The description does not need to be too long, just copy your title and tell them to PM you if they have questions. Wait about a day or two to let the bids build up before selecting a winner. When you select the winning bidder it takes you to a screen where you can “check” the box next to each bidders name. This is a sneaky way to hire multiple people if you want to. Once the winning bidder has accepted your job, email them the link to your Facebook page along with a more in depth job description.
4. Once your page reaches 10,000+ people, Facebook will make you verify that you are the owner of the page. If you do not verify it they will block your publishing rights to the page, making this whole process a big waste of time. Here’s how to verify: Get an account at blogger.com. Post some BS blog entries. Use this new blogger domain as your official URL. Go to your Facebook page and click “Edit Page.” Under “Promote Your Page” click “Promote with a fan box” and click the Blogger icon. You will then log into your blogger account and the Facebook fan box will be present on your blog. Now your page is verified and set to go!
DO NOT POST ANY CPA OFFERS BEFORE YOUR PAGE IS VERIFIED!
5. Now that you have more than 10k fans in your fan page and have verified it, you can start promoting your CPA offer. You can do this by updating the status of your group or sending out a mass message to all members. To update your status, put the text portion of your ad into the text field and copy and paste the link into the link box in the tool bar below the text field. Once your link is attached and your message is crafted, press submit. This status update will be sent to all of your fans’ mini feeds and will be available for new fans to see. Don’t forget to mix your CPA posts with normal posts that fit in with the flow of your page. You want the fans to think it’s a legit page (which it is) not a spam page. Do the same for messages.
6. Now that your page is big, create more Facebook pages and use your original page to drive traffic to those pages. Eventually you will have a large network of Facebook pages…a network that will eventually span more than 1 million people! You can now drive this traffic wherever you want! Make sure your users do not become immune to your page updates. If you’re constantly posting new updates they may get turned off. However, if one CPA offer is doing well, keep reposting it every other day (Just remove the original update from your page before you re-submit it). I recommend only a few NEW updates per week per page.
You don't Need Hacking skills to be a cyber criminal ??
Are you digitally challenged? Don’t know a byte from a bit? Have a limited command of Unix? Don’t worry: With a new generation of professionally packaged exploit kits, you, too, can become a successful cyber criminal.
New attack kits, which package proven exploits for vulnerabilities in popular software for easy installation and management, are bringing cyber crime to a new generation of criminals who have only limited technical skills, according to a new report from M86 Security.
The existence of exploit kits, which date back to at least 2006, is no secret. But they are becoming increasingly user-friendly, lowering the bar for entry to the cyber underground and creating a new source of revenue for the coders and hackers who devise them. One such kit, the Eleonore Exploit Pack, apparently was used in recent attacks on three Treasury Department sites.
“Cyber criminals find it easier, faster and more cost-effective to make money by buying exploits rather than taking the time to create exploits themselves,” states the report, titled “Web Exploits: There’s an App for That.”
Browser vulnerabilities usually are the most common targets for the kits. But M86 reported that exploits for vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash, Java and PDF are on the rise. The kits are designed for easy installation on a Web server and are linked to a database for logging and reporting.
Reporting can be critical because the kits can be used to distribute pay-per-install code, for which the kit owner is paid to install third-party malware on compromised computers. Rates range from a modest $50 per 1,000 installs on European and Australian computers to a healthy $170 per 1,000 U.S. computers.
The criminals can drive victim traffic to the exploit Web page with techniques such as spam that contains malicious links or by setting up a bogus Web site and using search engine optimization to popularize it. But the most common technique is to inject malicious iFrames into legitimate sites and redirect traffic to the exploit page. Some entrepreneurs will even sell redirected Web traffic at a reasonable rate.
But don’t get any ideas about reselling these exploit kits. These guys might be criminals, but they don’t tolerate piracy. “You are not allowed to resell/share, if we catch you doing this your license will be revoked,” the purveyors of Crimepack warn.
