Comments on: From vulnerability to fraud, how hard is it? http://www.securityninja.co.uk/data-loss/from-vulnerability-to-fraud-how-hard-is-it/ Security research, news and guidance Thu, 09 May 2013 14:59:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Troy Hunt http://www.securityninja.co.uk/data-loss/from-vulnerability-to-fraud-how-hard-is-it/comment-page-1/#comment-3235 Troy Hunt Wed, 24 Mar 2010 02:07:00 +0000 http://www.securityninja.co.uk/?p=1109#comment-3235 This is an excellent article which very clearly bridges the gap between website exploit and financial impact. For many people, it’s difficult to monetise the risk of website vulnerabilities and seeing the process laid out so clearly really brings the message home. Regarding suggestions the resources you mentioned are amateurish, the real message here is that there are individuals out there with the audacity to offer services like these openly to the public domain. It shows how fraud itself has been commoditised to the extent that an entire sub-culture has emerged – rather publicly – with the intent of turning it into a service industry. That in itself is a fascinating observation. This is an excellent article which very clearly bridges the gap between website exploit and financial impact.
