Exploiter

Typically amateur attackers known as "script kiddies" who gather victim computers (referred to as "roots") that can be used to host a phishing site or a spam relay. In some cases, exploiters will break into credit card databases directly to harvest credit card data, skipping the phishing stage entirely.

Exploiters have an important role in the Internet Black Market.
