An anonymous reader writes “The Washington Post’s Security Fix blog is
running a fascinating series that peers inside some of the [0]Web-based
services cyber crooks are using to ply their trade: from masking their
identity, to defeating CAPTCHAs, to creating counterfeit documents and
validating stolen credit and debit cards. Everyone familiar with this
space hears about these kinds of tools and services all the time in the
abstract, but the Post blog includes screen shots and background details
on the popularity of the services and how each one is helping to bring
cyber crime that much closer to the realm of even the most newbie scam
artists.” Many of these tools require a working knowledge of Russian.
Wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Chinese-language tools exist too.
