Body Armor for Bad Web Sites

Summary: Krebs on Security describes bulletproof hosting providers that advertise openly and shield criminal sites from takedown requests and Western law enforcement. One provider's entry-level "default bulletproof server" costs $270 per month and permits rogue pharmacies, replica, gambling and MP3 sites but bars malware and phishing, while its "Super BulletProof Virtual Dedicated Servers in China" at almost $500 per month prohibits only spam and porn.

What you should know: The tiering shows abuse tolerance is priced: for roughly $500 a month a customer buys hosting where malware, spyware, exploits and phishing are permitted, and add-ons include XRumer with pre-packaged link lists for .edu, .gov and .mil domains.
