I'm not surprised by the prices, as always, the dodgier the stuff you do, the bigger the reward.

Us people that work for legal operations (esp. civil service) get paid less then other.

If there is a market, I am sure there is a way to trace those guys down .... so, why not arresting them all ? I am sick and tired of fixing computers of friend of mines because they are new to PC's and surf without a firewall.

So how do you pay for these exploits, pull out the ol' credit card? There's a smart idea.

"Hmm, yes, Visa, I just got a bill on my credit card called 'Botnet Hacking OMGWTFBBQ Software for Vista' for 5000 bucks. I didn't get it. Can you help me?"

That's going to go down well...
