Russian malware site values PC infections by country

Interesting to read that MessageLabs has revealed a Russkie malware infections site that offers wodges of e-cash depending on how many PCs - and their location- hackers can infect with its spyware.

The spyware infections are reported to be a doddle to engineer on legitimate sites, using a single line of code to route hapless punters onto auto-malware loading pages,

What's really interesting, however, isn't that the Installscash site offers US$100 per '000 infected computers in Australia, but the fact that this is twice the price for US infected computers and four times
the level payable for Dutch infected computers.

The list provides an insight into the security levels, as well as the revenue potential, of infected country botnet groups of Internet users.
