Leaked Online Chats Expose Author of Largest Spam Botnet

An anonymous reader writes "New analysis of financial records and online chat logs retrieved from the operators of Spamdot.biz — until recently the most notorious spam affiliate program — provides tantalizing clues about the identity of the man behind Cutwail, currently the largest spam botnet. Brian Krebs tells the story of 'Google,' the screen name used by the now-27-year-old botmaster who was part of a team of programmers in Moscow. Over the years, Cutwail has shifted from a spam cannon for male enhancement pills to a major vector for distributing malicious software."

    Yes, this is true. I post anonymously because it is a bit embarassing and I don't want to appear to be bragging.

    When I got married, both I and my wife were virgins. The first couple of times we had sex, she complained of the pain. I assumed it was just the whole virgin thing. Turns out, when erect, the circumference of my penis is twice the average. It is not much longer than average at 7.75" but when flacid it is much smaller.

    The sex life got better after an epiziotomy (spelling?) but until then it wasn't pleasant. So men who wish for a big penis have no idea what they are wishing for.
