    Why? Whats the point?

    Why do people/companies make sites to distribute malware/spam? Why? To annoy us? To take satisfaction? Bored? Why? What's the point?

    History

    At one time, it was just a "contest" between "script kiddies" to see who could create the most damaging exploit, but now it is big business for, as MysteryFCM said, money. Thus it is no longer an idle past-time for bored youngsters, but serious business for con men.

    Obviously they do it for the women.

    Women love men who run malware sites.

    first you get the malware
    then you get the money
    then you get the women

    How malware distributors see themselves:

    What an actual malware distributor might look like:
