One-Stop Bot Chop-Shops
Summary: Krebs on Security reports that fraudsters are using pre-set templates to build one-stop bot chop shops that sell everything harvestable from hacked PCs, including credit and debit card data, email lists, VPN and RDP credentials, Cpanel installations, PHP mailers, FTP access, SSH logins, and online gambling accounts. One such shop, blackhatstore[dot]ru, borrowed the trademarked image of the Black Hat security conference and accepted payment in Perfect Money and bitcoin.
Bottom line: Botmasters have historically left value on the table by using compromised machines only as spam relays or for banking credentials; templates that monetize every credential on a host mean a single infection can expose VPN, RDP, FTP, and SSH access that reaches well beyond the victim's own accounts.
