    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the expanding business of malware developers. Malware is big business, and groups are trying to cash in, using the latest Web 2.0 tools, such as social networking profiles, blogs, and other publicly available media and Web-site pages. Selling malware is not directly illegal in the U.S. but only using it is illegal. According to Zulfikar Ramzan, senior principal researcher with Symantec Security Response, as the malware underground expands, it is moving away from technology towards business.
