You have to pay 600$ and get 10 Million spam-mails to their receivers. Imagine what you would make if one of 1000 receivers would buy your “cheap Viagra generic”. If you would only earn 1$ per sale you would make 9400$ in profit!

Here are more numbers, discovered in the German version of the “Technology Review” magazine:

Breaking into websites and forums: 50$
DDoS-attack a whole day long: 500$

I think you can’t take these prices as-is. Especially the DDoS-attack price has to correlate to the number of attacking machines. Else I would like to offer my notebook connected to a random WLAN for 500$ a day. I even would buy another one after two payments to fulfill your needs of using more boxes in parallel to attack your target ;)

Can someone confirm or deny these price tags (and can send me a link to the actual prices)?
