Don’t pirate malware code, or the parrot gets it.

When you’re a pirate, the most dangerous thing out there is other pirates.

Symantec brings us this wonderful story on their blog: the Russian creators of the “Zeus” or Infostealer.Banker.C. malware are including a license agreement for those who purchase their code. Should you be in violation of this EULA, you’ll lose tech support. Underground malware developers have tech support??? Maybe they’d consider locating their call center in the soon-to-be-vacant Dell center in Ottawa!

Symantec kindly has translated the Zeus license agreement (don’t be gettin’ any ideas now!)

The Client:
1. Does not have the right to distribute the product in any business or commercial purposes not connected with this sale.
2. May not disassemble / study the binary code of the bot builder.
3. Has no right to use the control panel as a means to control other bot nets or use it for any other purpose.
4. Does not have the right to deliberately send any portion of the product to anti-virus companies and other such institutions.
5. Commits to give the seller a fee for any update to the product that is not connected with errors in the work, as well as for adding additional functionality.

In cases of violations of the agreement and being detected, the client loses any technical support. Moreover, the binary code of your bot will be immediately sent to antivirus companies.
