Interesting article. The black market looks far away from me. I always want to know how to get one of those "hacking service" but I can't tell who is genuine and who is not. People literally take risk to do business with these people. I guess I should just get a GreenDot one day and use that to pay a cracker, right? I don't know how old the kid is, but sounds like someone between junior high and high school. I don't even know how to launch such massive DDoS attack yet. How many do I need to send such? This is interesting... Side note: Krebs is an interesting person. I have come across his blog many times but I never bothered to find out his actual job. He's a journalist. no technical background. Self-taught. http://krebsonsecurity.com/about/ http://krebsonsecurity.com/about/ This is the best example of a civilian out there interested in protecting his data. He would go out his way to eliminate worm and hacker from touching his laptop... we need more civilian like this (not to blog or to go on a strike, but to be aware of the seriousness of the unsafe nature of the Internet). Also, his article is really well-written. No doubt; he's a reporter after all.
