Cracker site infects for money

PC World has interviewed researchers who have found a East European site which asks 0,2 $ / infected computer. Prepayment is also possible; you can buy eg. for 10000 infections for 2000 $.

After infection site sends purchaser IP addresses of infected machines that cracker knows where to attack. That site doesn't offer exploits or viruses but cracker can choose means freely.

Researchers believe that botnet can have millions of computers inside.

PC World warns that you shouldn't visit loads.cc as it might log IP addresses. There was found no malicious code on front page but that doesn't guarantee that also other pages there are clean.
