10 spammer - 80% spam worldwide
Anyone who has been bothered when their inbox flooded with spam can be named the world's 10 most productive "spammers" to scold.
According to the anti-spam organization Spamhouse, only 10 people have "spawned" up to 80% of the world's total spam. They send spam with all kinds of content, advertising for all kinds of products and services from sex, pharmaceuticals to stock fraud.
Source: antispam Top of the list is a widely known spammer named Alex or Alexey residing in Ukraine. Spamhouse believes the man is working with a Russian "gang" named Pavka / Artofit, taking advantage of the band's vast Zombie computer network to distribute spam.
Leo Kuvayev, "Runner" in the list, also works closely with Pavka / Artofit tapes. In October 2005, the man was fined 37 million US dollars by the Massachusetts state court for his spam activities in the United States. However, he has not been arrested and heard the attack returned to live in Russia.
The reverse side of "American entrepreneurship" could be seen in Michael Lindsay of iMedia Networks, who is currently No. 3 on the list. Spamhouse said Lindsay is running a "professional spam-hosting line", serving customers who want to advertise with a "superior" service, of course at a higher cost than other spammers.
In this list of Top 10 there is another American. Jeffrey Peters is currently serving a 10-year suspended sentence for fraud, stealing $ 100,000 online. However, according to Spamhouse, the man also runs a Russian ISP that specializes in spam activities and the name is an expert in tampering with documents.
In total, there are four names on the list of top 10 oligarchs from Russia, who are living in Ukraine but also shake hands with Russian hackers. Two spammers come from the US and the rest work in Israel, Hong Kong, and Canada.
