New part-time jobs for students- Internet crime
Many college students want part-time jobs to earn some extra money and one of the latest possibilties seems to be cybercrime. In fact they can even get training to make a career of it. ZDNet reports:
Organized gangs have adopted “KGB-style” tactics to hire high-flying computer students to commit Internet crime, a report said on Friday.
Criminals are targeting universities, computer clubs and online forums to find undergraduates, according to Internet security firm McAfee.
Some gangs have sponsored promising students from other disciplines to attend computer courses before planting them in businesses as “sleepers.”
McAfee said the students write computer viruses, commit identity theft and launder money in a multibillion-dollar industry that is more lucrative than the drug trade.
