The world's best hackers and computer experts are being hired by criminals to aid them in their spamming and scamming activities, according to industry experts. Large organizations, like corporations and business enterprises are becoming more vulnerable to cyber attacks, the news service AHN has reported. The AHN article said that three ingredients are needed to launch an attack, being an email generator, official looking emails and a set of powerful servers.
Chee Heng Loon, vice president of Sonicwall, said: "If end-users are not hiring them, if we are not hiring them, then where did all these people disappear to? "The only conclusion we can come to is that a huge organization out there is sucking out all of the skill sets and we believe they are the guys who are behind all the spamming and phishing attacks." In August Sonicwall reported a rise in the volume of spam and phishing attacks.
