Russian Denies Writing SoBig Worm
IphtashuPhitz writes "The Russian spamware programmer anonymously accused eariler this week of writing the Sobig worm has responded to the accusations. Ruslan Ibragimov of Send-Safe doesn't deny that his program uses proxies to hide spammer's identities. But he totally refutes the report's technical analysis in an online interview over at OReilly Network."
..I bet he dosen't feel SoBig now.
The report noted, for example, a strong similarity in the email headers created by Send-Safe and SoBig. But Ibragimov said Send-Safe chose the particular order of headers merely to mimic Outlook Express and to better evade spam filters.
Somehow I think Ibragimov's righteous indignation over the accusation is a teensy bit misplaced...
I want to drag this out as long as possible. Bring me my protractor.
Maybe he wrote the "Who wrote the SoBig?" report himself to popularize his "Send-Safe" software... You never know...
Wow, this is surprising! I was expecting "Russian accused of writing SoBig worm admits to it, despite the flagrant lack of evidence to actually convict him of anything."
