Need a hacker? A new service, dubbed Hacker's List, wants to be the Craigslist of professional hackers.
Services range from breaking in to an ex's email address to taking out an enemy's website.
A description on the website reads: "Hiring a hacker shouldn't be a difficult process, we believe that finding a trustworthy professional hacker for hire should be a worry free and painless experience. At Hacker's List we want to provide you with the best opportunity to find your ideal hacker and for professional hackers around the world to find you. Our hacker-for-hire review process makes it so that only the best hackers for hire are allowed to offer their services and expertise."
For those worried about the scamming aspect of a hire-a-hacker site, funds for a particular job can be held in escrow to ensure that they're only paid out upon its completion. Prices can range from $100 to $1,000 for successful completion. However, one job listing is asking anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 if a hacker successfully breaks into the database of a central bank.
Hackers who have low ratings from previous jobs allegedly end up paying a higher percentage in fees to Hacker's List when jobs are successfully completed.
"This encourages hackers to have the highest level of service to maximize their earning potential," reads a description on the site.
