Applying Economics to Cyber Criminals

by David Setzer on June 8, 2009

Here is a great article I picked up from one of our Twitter followers. It does an excellent job of explaining the two different cultures and types of blackhats responsible for the spam, malware and other cyber-threats today. Having been in the email security business for almost 10 years now we see the effects of these types of thugs and can deduce much of their makeup but this article really nails it.

It’s interesting how human nature never really changes. This is nothing more than the 2000’s version of your pick pockets and organized crime of 1930’s Chicago or New York.
