hi
These are the three e-mail addresses they have contacted me on so far.
armada.collective@bk.ru
melvin.webster2@gmail.com
luciennemcglynn30@gmail.com
messages came from a various bitmessage.ch addresses
# i wonder if they all have the same X-Originating-IP" or the ame
# X-Mailer sw which may imply the same script kiddie or the same
# "group" sending the "i hope they pay up wish list emails"
I wonder how much of this is due to language difficulties.
Imagine if all your abuse messages and lots of this often informal
(and formal) documentation was in Chinese or Russian.

i've always thought, since the 80's and 90's that the computers
( PCs, servers, routers ) managed by non-english speaking folks
and non-computer-geeks ( we seem to call them sys admins and
IT dept nowdays ) will be more susceptable to "take over"
by those that know how to hijack computers/routers w/o being noticed
given that every culture has their criminals ... there is a possibility
that the english speaking criminals are the ones using mis-configured
servers and routers for their benefit and purposes
side note, some folks are trying to make $$ with viagra and other meds
but, notice that most of that viagra/meds spam s!@#$ is gone
there are the email marketer non-nonsense ... probably the ones
controlling the zombie bots ( foreign PCs ) spewing out 25% of the
world's emails
there are very specific attacks from old culture chinese, N koreans,
russians and other notorious groups ... etc
that are after certain info ( they may not be after $$$ since its
all gov't $$$ to start with ) .. something to protect against 24x7x365
i'd also worry about the well-known anonymous groups that can actualy
carry out the xxxGbps DDoS attacks and take out high profile targets
- they should be sending out their emails from
anonymous servers ...
- i doubt that google/yahoo could be considered "anonymous"
( non-traceable ) vs throw away temp emails
the nuisance ransoms from script kiddies probably will not
be able to followup, but one did hopefully take preventative
measures spending time and $$$ ... i think they're the ones
asking ( demanding ) for $20 to not the more reasonable
$$$ per specific DDoS multi-national or large local businesses
