I don't see why more places don't do this. Instead of running to the meter every hour to throw another quarter in the machine, just send a sms from wherever you are.
I live in Estonia and have been noticing this for quite some time. Funny thing is, I only get Russian language spam, a language I don't speak at all and never have been associated with speaking, no idea why the spammers seam to think I speak it. You would think if they spammed Estonia, they would do it in Estonian but I have never gotten any in Estonian. Even the company's inbox where I work gets only Russian spam.
It shows up in my gmail every day and what sucks is no matter how many of them I mark as spam (they are for sure spam, I got my Russian friend to translate a few and they are all about pills and whatnot) I still get them in my inbox. I wish there was a "any emails in this language are spam" setting but alas, there is not.
I remember recently that they accused Russians or Chinese or whatever for attacking their government sites and kind of they created some serious cyberforce after these attacks? Kind of makes me wonder. How is this possible to have some serious cyberforce and not able to shut botnet which originates from your own country. Smelling bullshit somewhere.
Sigh, once again, lets go over the facts. It was Russia who Estonia accused of helping with the cyber attacks. Basically all the IPs that were being used to DDoS originated from Russia and with some radical Russian youth people also taking credit for the attacks. It was not just one lone hacker like everyone likes to think, just 1 guy got fined because Estonia can't go into Russia and start arresting people. You can read my previous comment about this the last time someone ignorant like you started spewing garbage everywhere here: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=553424&cid=23414966 Next up, no there is not some "serious cyberforce" running around policing the interwebs or whatever you got in your head. A school, a training facility, was setup so governments from around the world could collaborate and get information on what to do incase your country is cyber-attacked. Its training ground, not a "force" in any way. Who gave you this idea anyway? Last, what bullshit do you smell? Your own? The domains were found and taken down right quick. Everything was handled quickly and professionally, no bullshit there. Why are you complaining or are you just trying to troll on Estonia?
