Re: Cybercrime not just cyber
Great article, Ian. This is especically relevant today given the recent capture of one of the most prolific spammers of all tiime under the alias "Severa," also known as a Russian national Pyotr Levashov. Mr. Levashov is known to have supported cybercriminals across the globe highlighting his reach outside of the typical Russian undergound ecosystem and reaching other cybercrime geographies & communities.
