Criminals Operating Malware Supermarkets

Things are pretty bad when malware authors are running their operation like a supermarket for scumbags and no one is able to shut them down. Ugh.

According to Corrons, the malware industry now appears to be turning from being just a shop from which malware can be bought, to one where services are offered. For between one and five dollars per executable, malware could be cloaked-- encrypted-- against the anti-virus software programs it was likely to encounter on a for-hire basis.
