Cybercriminals are taking a page from the software-as-a-service playbook. They’re now selling exploit kits complete with hosting services, with customers paying for the time the exploits are live.

Once the computers are hacked, the machines can be used to steal personal data, send spam, for denial-of-service attacks or other purposes. The new business model makes it easier for cybercriminals who may have trouble securing so-called “bulletproof” hosting.”]
