An online underground marketplace that sells access to hacked servers all over the world is a “hacker’s dream,” according to a cyber security firm.

Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab says the market, called xDedic, is selling access to more than 70,000 compromised government and corporate servers in more than 173 countries with the prices starting at a mere $6.

The one-time cost gives a malicious buyer access to all the data on the server and the possibility to use this access to launch further attacks.
