Hackers For Hire

If it is so easy to hire hackers online, why is it so hard to catch them? If this guy can find all these hacker forums, you'd think the authorities would be all over those things by now.

There are dozens of underground forums where members advertise their ability to execute debilitating "distributed denial-of-service" or DDoS attacks for a price. DDoS attack services tend to charge the same prices, and the average rate for taking a Web site offline is surprisingly affordable: about $5 to $10 per hour; $40 to $50 per day; $350-$400 a week; and upwards of $1,200 per month.
