I live in an area with a lot of technology jobs and when someone tells me their company does "internet marketing" I wonder if that is what they do.

It's all about making money. Perhaps Eugene Kaspersky, founder of anti-virus maker Kaspersky Labs said it best, " It's a different world today. 10 years ago, we were fighting against smart kids who hacked as a hobby. Now, we're dealing with criminal gangs that control your computer to make money. Different world, different protections."

Much (not all) malware originates these days in the Eastern European countries where laws are lax and corruption is rampant. Also China.
