An evil organization may build a CAAS (crime as a service, TM since now :-p) and the little burglars may buy a 1.99$ app to know if there is a free house nearby.

Mmm, this may work...

Crime As A Service is essentially what Moriarty does in the Sherlock Holmes novels. Make you wonder if it's ever been done for real...

Murder for hire would be CAAS.

The once stealing CC informations are not the one using it usually, the whole "carding" scene is based on CaaS.

What, you mean like this?

It would only work if you had an untraceable link between the smart people selling the app and the dumb people using the app.

Bitcoin?
