I think it’s a barrel of honey to attract guys – it is FSB, or just grifters. Although, i put there my money – i want to see a sample which they give out

I hand out Puppy Linux LiveCDs to all my clients for FREE! I don’t care if the bank pays for it or not.

So what’s the consensus about this RSA report? Is it, as many of the people posting comments are saying, a sting operation set up by the Russian authorities to trap anyone greedy or unwary enough to sign up for this proposed attack on US banks? It would certainly allow the Russian government to portray itself as a good friend of the American government (and financial system) if the police and/or FSB could arrest all the members of a dangerous hacking group and put them on trial.

Or is this operation what it claims to be – a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rich quick, with a get-out-of-jail guarantee if anyone is caught?

I can see why RSA would be playing this for all it’s worth, but security companies like Trend Micro seem to be taking this seriously. Others appear to be slightly more sceptical, but they obviously have to treat it as a credible threat.

My own impression is that giving out so much information so publicly before the proposed attack makes it less credible. And for the principal hackers to break cover and flaunt themselves in this way is (correct me if I’m wrong) unprecedented.

Hah. I am actually learning Mandarin as we speak, although I am still very much in the early stages.

I don’t know that having some Google translate tab on my site is going to help matters. GT is actually a pretty good referrer of traffic to my blog already. As helpful as it has been in helping me to learn Russian, I find the service is still not nearly good enough for me to be comfortable encouraging readers to believe they’ll get a true and accurate translation of what I’m trying to get across.

From what I’ve seen of GT’s translation of most Russian forums and sites, it leaves a lot of meaning and context to be desired. I would be reluctant to endorse any kind of robotranslation of my content given the kinds of mistranslations I’ve seen so far.

I hope the fact that I leave these moronic comments here — even if they are not obviously so to Western readers — and not delete them is proof enough to my regular readers that I don’t censor comments around here. I rarely ever even thumb up or down a comment. The only time I remove comments if if they are inane and completely off-topic; contain excessive profanity; maliciously attack other readers; or link to malware or spammy sites.

I love that you get so excited about this that you feel compelled to leave such a nasty remark on this blog. I must really be far off the mark!

How do I know it’s Gozi and not Pinch? I don’t. That’s why I quote RSA saying that they think it’s so. Why don’t you enlighten us?

Besides from the gist of the broken english spam they put on, not worth doing anyway.
