I found the story to be pretty interesting, especially the bit about how long some of these worms have been out there. This indicates that the long-term goals of these guys are going to get more sophisticated over time.

I would be a little cautious about trying to extort from gambling sites. This guy did allot of expensive investigation and allowed the police to persue the matter. I wonder how many of these people turn up disembowled in alleys. All you have to do is **** off the wrong guy with sufficient resources.

I find this very intresting, it seems there is no honor among thieves any more the gamblers are getting extorted by the hackers. Yet the law took the side of the gamblers even though in some areas the books that they were running were illegal. Very good article.

None. Online gabling is run by clever kids with spare time.
It's not like you going to a bar too meet with a bookie to put a dime on the Yankees winning the series.
