It seems that hackers are looking for more ways to profit. The hacker business model is a direct copy from normal enterprise. Hackers can rent out a botnet trojan:
“Online fraudsters who aren’t highly skilled in the arts of cybercrime can now rent a service that offers an all-in-one hosting server with a built-in Zeus trojan administration panel and infecting tools, allowing them to create their own botnet.”

One wonders if the hackers have good support and what their terms of service are. Perhaps hackers can improve the service model of legal enterprises.
