Amazing how much knowledge is needed to set up something big like this…

Is this stuff true? Because it is well scary that people can do that.

WOW :-\ :-\

I know it’s scary. I hope Avast has something to check for something like this.

You know those Russians are smart people and mostly unemployed. They have time and desire to do something like this. The best software cracks come from the Russian sites. The best anonymous proxy server lists also come from Russian websites. Those guys and gals just have too much time on their hands to think up crap like this.
