14 DAY TRIAL // If up until recently botnets and other hacking tools were advertised only on underground forums where all the parties went through great lengths to hide their identities, now it seems that even YouTube has become a great place to advertise malicious products.
F-Secure researchers came across a video in which a young woman allegedly named Christa (maybe with a K) is sweetly talking hackers into buying products from a certain organization.
“Hello Hackers. I’m Christa and I’m true about [name] professional cheap DDOS service. It’s strong, fast and trusted with no time limit. What we do is take down large websites, large forums, game servers and website blogs. You can blow your competition and web enemies away,” says the woman with a sweet voice.
The links from the video lead to a page where distributed denial of service (DDoS) services are advertised for as low as $2 (1.4 EUR) per hour.
