As we move further into the 21st century the world of malware belongs to criminal gangs and organized crime. They're making millions and millions of dollars annually with their various types of malware. That's why we have as much spam as we do, that's why we still need Internet security software and firewalls. That's also why computer users must be sensible how they use their computers to prevent attacks.
People also ask, who would click on those silly spam messages anyway? With the millions if not billions of pieces of spam flooding the internet, it only takes a relative handful of people to click and get sucked in. And sending the spam is virtually free.
Trend Micro's Malware Blog has a two-part posting from their advanced threat researcher Feike Hacquebord on the cyber criminals running the malware kingdoms. Here are his posts:
Making a Million, Part One—Criminal Gangs, the Rogue Traffic Broker, and Stolen Clicks
Making a Million, Part Two—The Scale of the Threat
