This paper studies an active underground economy which specializes
in the commoditization of activities such as credit card fraud,
identity theft, spamming, phishing, online credential theft, and the
sale of compromised hosts. Using a seven month trace of logs collected
from an active underground market operating on public Internet
chat networks, we measure how the shift from “hacking for
fun” to “hacking for profit” has given birth to a societal substrate
mature enough to steal wealth into the millions of dollars in less
than one year.
