Ripper.cc has been maintaining a database of known rippers or scammers since June last year and security firm Digital Shadows says it may help online black markets flourish. It already has close to 1,000 profiles, each of which can include the rippers screen names, the contact methods used, and details about the specific scams the offender was involved in. The site is also considering a mobile app and an escrow service to streamline the trusted buying and selling of illegal goods for hackers.”]
