Hackers are Selling Backdoors into Windows PCs for just $10

Leave a comment

If you use Windows, you want to know about this problem that apparently has been around for some time. Cyber criminals are offering remote access to IT systems for just $10 via a dark web hacking store — potentially enabling attackers to steal information, disrupt systems, deploy ransomware and more. Some of the products sold for $10 allow access to tens of thousands of compromised systems.

Systems advertised for sale on the forum range from Windows XP through to Windows 10, with access to Windows 2008 and 2012 Server most common.
