Online crooks getting more professional

Computer criminals are making money be selling pre-made software to
other computer criminals. Symantic Corp. has reported that middlemen
are buying malicious software and spam in order to distribute it to
consumers in hopes, in some cases, to steal identities, and important
information. There programmers are getting contracts with the
middlemen in order to frequently distribute the software as soon as a
new program is created. On a lighter note, Symantic says that because
of the contracts, it may be easier to track the path from the
distributer,and perhaps even the creators of the software.
