Guest LilBambi Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yep, if there wasn't some sort of profit, whether monetary or social, they wouldn't be doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hello, If you take a look at some of the US FTC or DOJ press releases involving malware operators, they have often made tens of millions of dollars through their creations.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 My thoughts about malware hackers and spammers is that if they'd spend just 50% of the time they waste on these negative, destructive pursuits on legal endeavors, they'd probably make just as much, if not more, money. Unfortunately, part of the thrill for these folks is the illegality of what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
