SNIPPET: "I guess it was inevitable. With the growth in SaaS (Software as a Service), it was only a matter of time before we saw CaaS - Crimeware as a Service.

Criminal gangs are now offering services such as DDOS attacks, botnet rental, malware creation and electronic money laundering. And then there are the more exclusive, targeted services such as whaling to attack high net worth individuals and organisations.

CaaS is one of the emerging threats associated with organised cybercrime, which is at the top of the latest Information Security Forum (ISF) Threat Horizon 2011 report."
