Too Lazy to Farm Your Own Botnet? Then Outsource It.
The linked article paints a scary story: malware creators are becoming more businesslike. They are selling software kits to "write your own virus". But the inflection point is that these "independent businessmen selling research software" are willing to provide web hosting, maintenance, and support services.
