Notwithstanding, the hasty closing of the affiliate program, after the analysis of their infrastructure in the molecule, the search operators, the business continues. During the period of 12.08.2009 to 14.07.2010 the number of infected machines was more than 16 million! Not surprisingly, these guys are interested in law enforcement agencies in many countries.
Recently, I came across information about the real owners of this criminal business.
Two young lads from Kazan, organized by one of the largest botnets in the world. Artem and Michael, so called criminals are not even in 25 years. They can be rightly proud of their achievement.
According to unconfirmed information, these guys face a prison sentence of 25 to 40 years each, upon delivery to the U.S.. How can you be so stupid, so please to jail for a period of more than lived?
Despite the fact that the team, situated on Pushkin Street, in the heart of Kazan, has been repeatedly interested law enforcement agencies of Russia, they are still walking free. In Russia, the problems can be solved with money. Those guys had a lot of money. 16,000,000th botnet - this is no joke. Based on the information gain of up to $ 1,000 in 1000 "installs" - to run malicious software on your computer, or on a dollar for a computer: http://1ndg0.blogspot.com/2009/11/dogma-millions-300 -800-1-us.html. This is just what they pay associates - webmasters. And how much they charge you? Now multiply 16 million to $ 1. In the resulting sum of the visible and the white BMW X6, the criminals have bought this year, and luxury apartments in Kazan, as well as other attributes of the "upbeat" life.
The question arises - whether they will do with anything? In Russia they have a good chance to go free soon, if not change the political course. When crossing the border first, they may be in the hands of Interpol. Even Qaddafi's son failed to cross the border and attempt to pay off $ 2 billion has not led to success.
In addition to this material, a photo of one of the most successful guys. For various reasons, the face is hidden.
In later editions: the continuation of the disclosure. Stocked popcorn!
