Cybercrime may be just as vulnerable to things that hurt their bottom line as their victims, security researchers say. The theory goes that, much like any sector of the economy, the black market reacts negatively to increased costs. Cybercrime has become an increasingly lucrative business, given what attackers can do with stolen customer information or by gaining access to corporate systems with data they can sell elsewhere. The ecosystem of buying and selling among cybercriminals may wind up being a lot more fragile than was ever realized.”]
