Phishing
with millions of dollars spent on anti phishing campaigns in the US it makes me wonder, if the Swedes could have done the same, as with most computer users they are dumb as a box of rocks
one of the industry mags i get said 2 days ago, (yes i am in ths high end computing and server business) that the US servers involved were anynomizers adn were redirecting the information through 4-5 anyonomizers so no actual people in the US were involved by choice, but changes have been made, i feel my blocking anything from japan (including the pacific rim), russia, and several other countries, they try and send anthing via email, it hits the bitbucket and is dumped every 2 hours, i catch 50,000 bogus emails a day that way, anf frankly i dont care what it is, if a client has an issue i can add in an exception for them, considering 80%+ of all spam is from the pacific rim, block them, they will go away probably to another country but block them too, my clients are higher up the food chain that spammers in my company
another thing the russian mob is known for being violet and brutal in theis quest to make money, it is doubtful any charges will be filed, let alone any legal action for fear of getting their whole family killed, including their dog an cat, which the russian mob is good for doing, so they will continue without issues
