The RBN has been described as "the baddest of the bad". It offers web hosting services and internet access to all kinds of criminal and immoral activities, with individual activies earning up to $150m in one year. Businesses that take active stands against such attacks are sometimes targetted by denial of service attacks originating in the RBN network.[2] RBN sells its services to these operations for $600 per month.
