If you're not someone who frequents the deep recesses of the web, the cybercriminal underground is likely a mystifying place.

Ziv discussed the evolution and ROI of cybercrime, while also concentrating on some of its primary drivers, including obfuscations services, exploit kits, malvertisements and zero-day vulnerabilities.
