Attackers Also In High Demand
Attackers, or IT specialists who conduct attacks on networks, web applications and mobile devices, were the second most popular jobs among cybercriminal employers, accounting for 16% of the total ads, Kaspersky said. This job’s closest approximation to a legitimate profession is penetration tester.
Most of the attackers’ jobs on the dark web were associated with actions that would compromise corporate infrastructure. The goals of these actions are ransomware infection, data theft or stealing cash directly from accounts. Some cybercriminal groups hiring attackers were focused on selling access to compromised systems to other cybercriminals, or hacking web and mobile applications.
