How Russians Deal With Spam

Alexey Tolstokozhev, a Russian spammer who was responsible for over 30% of all viagra, cialis, and penis enlargement spam e-mails, was found shot to death in his in his luxury home near Moscow this week. Tolstokozhev reportedly made more than $2 million dollars this year alone, thanks to spam. Vardan Kushnir, another prolific Russian spammer, was assassinated in 2005.

The spam blocker I currently run has a button that reads, “Kill Spam.” I had no idea it would work so well.

EDIT: Rumors are circulating that this story is a hoax. If so, that’s too bad. Everybody loves a dead spammer.

  • True or not it definitely is a fitting punishment. I just started receiving about 5/day of those type of spams. My server is currently working on their anti-Spam system so for now they are getting through… it really sucks. I haven’t had Spam in years.
