Ransomware as a Service

The dark web, that anonymous amalgamation existing within the surface web obscurred by tools like tor and i2p to mask their ip addresses that they may deal in those things the mainstream does not allow has a new product available.

"Ransomware as a Service" as provisioned by malware payloads called Cerber and Cerber 2 which allows anyone to be a cyber criminal as long as the authors get their cut.

Just think ... some pimply faced conversant high school harry psychopath can now purchase instant cybercrime gratification at the expense of those in his path of vectors for a cut of the proceeds.

This is worse than the virus creation toolkits I used to buy for ten bucks in the 80s.

So this is what we've devolved to in our pursuit of the unearned remuneration only available within either inheritance or the criminal element.

So now, after I was getting all warm and fuzzy for the inclusion of my fellow netizens I now find that my old rationale is much more suitable to the information age and this mean thing we've become.

So, when we have cybercriminals publishing addressess accessible by their victims where is law enforcement to shut down and eradicate those networks which would harbor such goings on ?

Surely somebody besides me thinks this practice of ransomware for hire should be terminated with the most extreme prejudice.
