Washington: In the last 12 months, it is witnessed that the sales of crimeware has increased significantly across the world, as cybercrimes are no longer the domain of techies, as one needs to spend just $700 to buy an attack kit online. The attack kit creates customized malicious code designed to steal any type of information. An attack kit, Zeus, can be purchased online for $700 in an underground economy forum. The kit helps the users to access infected computers and steal email and banking details and passwords. Last year, it sent out phishing messages to 1.5 million Facebook users and nine million phishing emails. Talking to Fox News, Craig Scroggie, Vice President, Symantec said, "The kits have lowered the entry point into cybercrime. They make it easier for an unskilled attacker to compromise a computer and steal information, whereas in the past you needed to have the skill to write these things. Tens of thousands of the attack kits had been sold, helping create 90,000 unique variations of the Zeus toolkit. Other known crimeware tools include the Fragus Exploit Kit and the Spyeye."
