Cybercrime-As-A-Service (Malware)

CaaS (Cybercrime-as-a-Service) is a criminal application of the "as-a-service" concept that is transforming respectable business methods. For criminals, CaaS provides access to a wide range of digital resources, including harmful software (malware), botnets (networks of infected computers), hacking professionals, stolen personal information databases, penetration testing of possible targets, open-source research, and much more. CaaS promotes specialisation by providers, leading to greater quality due to competition, more market penetration through resellers, and a reduction in the resources and skills barriers to entry for aspiring cyber criminals, much as it does in the legal business world. Custom ransomware have been built to exploit the data of the market by some of the companies to stabilize themselves. Some of them use this adware or spyware also to get more information on the competition. Government has to take several measures to educate people on CaaS to reduce the risk of being attacked and can develop secure internet structure to handle upcoming threats.
