Hunt for Russia's web criminals

The Russian Business Network - which some blame for 60% of all internet crime - appears to have gone to ground. But, asks Peter Warren, has it really disappeared?

Quote:

"For a lot of the Russian techies [crime] became very lucrative," says Dr Mark Galeotti, director of the Organised Russian and Eurasian Crime Research Unit at Keele University. "They began to recruit top graduates from universities who could earn 10 times what they would get in Russia and twice what they would get in the west."

"RBN is among the world's worst spammer, child-pornography, malware, phishing and cybercrime hosting networks," says a spokesman. "It provides 'bulletproof' hosting, but is probably involved in the crime too."
