Spyware Kits for Sale: £10
René Millman writes on SC Magazine Online:
A Russian website has appeared on the internet selling spyware kits for ten pounds.More here.
The spyware kit, called WebAttacker, is currently available for approximately £10 ($17). The website, which refers to its creators only as spyware and adware developers, touts the strengths of its software and makes the kits available for purchase online - even offering buyers technical support.
Included in the kits are scripts designed to simplify infecting computers. The buyer only needs to send spam to email addresses inviting recipients to visit a compromised website.
Samples found used newsworthy topics to lure unwary users. One presented itself as a warning of the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus and provided links to the bogus website, which purported to contain advice on oneself.
