Some of the hackers and hacking teams \u201coffer to target government entities for the purposes of database manipulation, economic\/corporate espionage, DDoS attacks and botnet rentals,\u201d the report said, but their services are costly \u2013 in the \u201chundreds to thousands of dollars per target\u201d range.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing offered for sale and being purchased are very different.
