Cybercrime Gangs and Cybercrime for Hire – Are You Sure Your People Are Ready for This?

According to BankInfoSecurity.com, Cybercrime Gangs are hiring!

Cybercrime gangs are hiring hackers who can “send ‘violent and graphic’ emails and text messages to schoolchildren’s parents, blackmail healthcare organizations, manufacturers, technology companies and law firms, or leak unaired episodes of “Orange is the New Black,” preferably while also being fluent in Arabic, Chinese or German”.

On the darknet cybercrime forum, there are hacking service offerings for hacking web server, setting up keylogger software, DDOS, hacking personal computers, hacking cell phones, hacking email or social media accounts, changing school grades, and fully undetectable ransomware… with pricing in either bitcoin or USD!

Cybercrime has become a much more serious threat to all types of businesses because it has become more automated and more profitable for cyber gangs and hackers, so much so, they’re hiring in big numbers.
