Publisher’s description

Internet crime is big business. A decade ago, writing harmful software was largely driven by individual hackers' desire for recognition. Today, profit is the clear motive. Organized groups of criminals create the tools and the distribution mechanisms for a wide variety of harmful software that can be used in criminal enterprises. Many of these groups, which are located mostly in Eastern Europe and China, are well organized and run like legitimate software businesses. Their software perpetrates harm well beyond offensive photos or annoying pop-up ads. They can watch what the user and their kids do on the Internet, and they can potentially sell that information to unscrupulous marketers and criminals. They can steal one's passwords, draining the bank account or running up one's kid's online gaming bill.
