問題詳情

The cyber black market is now more profitable than the illegal drug trade,with a wide range of cyber criminals setting up virtual storefronts on the web tobuy and sell data records and malware. This market has evolved from a variedlandscape of discrete, ad hoc individuals into a network of highly organizedgroups, often connected with traditional crime groups – such as drug cartels,mafias, terrorist cells, and nation-states. It resembles a traditional market, in thesense that participants communicate through various channels, place their orders,and get products, and its evolution mirrors the normal evolution of markets withboth innovation and growth.As well as “goods”, criminal services are available for purchase. Thesetools, sold on the black market as traditional software or leased like any othermanaged service, can help enable the most unskilled hackers to launch fairlyelaborate and advanced attacks. Transactions in the cyber black markets are oftenconducted using digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Pecunix, AlertPay, PPcoin,Litecoin and Feathercoin. Many criminal sites are starting to accept only digitalcrypto currencies due to their anonymity and security characteristics.There is also an element of “honor among thieves”. Many parts of the cyberblack market are policed, and have rules like a constitution, so those who scamothers are regularly banned or otherwise pushed off the market. In response tothat, law enforcement efforts are improving as cyber criminals go after biggertargets and attracting more attention. Security companies are also developingmore proactive approaches to dealing with cyber criminals, using new techniquesto identify potential threats and block them before an attack is carried out.
