Abstract

With the development of the Internet, a global murky underground business, which is called the hacker economy industry, is gradually formed. Numerous individuals and companies have become victims of the industry. The leakage of user information which facilitates the operation of the industry is the chief culprit. In this paper, we illustrate the operations and the hierarchy of the hacker economy industry through the analysis of websites, malware, hackers, and users.
