Many operate in groups or even as part of larger communities or networks, and they often use the same techniques, strategies, and tools to accomplish their ends. Hackers are coordinated and work within a broad and complex network. They often have salaries, set holidays, bonus payments and sales arrangements that include reseller portals and component rental.
