什麼是犯罪軟體

犯罪軟體是所有惡意軟體程序的總稱，其目的是促進和自動化Internet上的非法活動。 犯罪軟體可以是病毒，間諜軟體或任何可用於犯罪的惡意軟體，例如：

• 盜竊個人數據（姓名，身份證號碼等）；
• 盜竊財務信息（銀行卡號）；
• 盜竊商業機密或出售或勒索/勒索的機密信息；
• 盜竊聯繫人列表和電子郵件地址以作進一步轉移或出售；

通常採取上述措施是為了給犯罪軟體的發行者帶來一定的經濟利益，而不僅僅是以玩笑的形式給用戶帶來不便。

Criminal Software as a Service (Crimeware as a Service or CaaS)

With cloud computing becoming widespread, the phrase "something as a service" has become common indeed. Offers such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) allow organizations to use specialized functions without responsibility for maintaining and protecting the infrastructure. This gives a plethora of advantages and makes it easierfor a business to scale and focus on the main business areas, by outsourcing infrastructure maintenance tasks outside of the central business model.

Unfortunately, this model was adopted by cybercrime, so such offers 'as a service' began to appear. Traditionally, a cybercriminal had to have deep computer knowledge and be a jack of all trades. Crimeware as a Service allows you to specialize in a specific narrow area, renting the necessary services from other cybercriminals as necessary. Crimeware as a Service has become an important component of the underground economy. CaaS takes cybercrime to the next level, making it more organized, automated, and accessible to criminals with limited technical skills.

One of the most common types of criminal software is a phishing kit, which is a set of convenient tools that allow people with minimal technical skills to launch phishing sites. Typically, such a kit includes website development software (including graphic files, content) that can be used to create compelling simulations of authorized sites, and spamming software (to automate the mass mailing process).
