PS. By the way, Graham, are you a security expert or just a PR expert at Sophos?

The reason for this question is pretty simple. In your blog, you've got a post "More Cyxymu spam seen in Sophos spamtraps". You publish a screenshot of that spam letter but you don't publish the SOURCE of that letter (as a security expert would do).

So how can you say "My guess is that these emails aren't really being sent by Cyxymu"?

Look what Mr. Woodcock said in New York Times: he found evidence that the spam attacks had originated from the Abkhazia region. This is the region where the blogger Cyxymu lives. The spam attack came from his homeland. Not from Moscow or Beijing.

So it is pretty possible that blogger named Cyxymu just made some self-promotion.

Ok, we don't know the origins of the other attacks. There were some of them, experts say. The link in spam letters wouldn't do such a mess. There were DDoS-attacks, too.

But why all the "experts" say nothing about the SOURCES of those attacks? Why all of you repeat that one-blogger-excuse?

You can't trace where a spam letter came from? You can't crack the trojan code and find the address where botnet is downloaded from? You are just PR? Boring.

July 4th is pretty high

Randy Abrams — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 02:04:08 +0400

July 4th is pretty high profile, but it does not mean that the timing of the attack was to protest against America. The timing may well have been because the attackers knew that many people would be on holiday that day and so they may be more likely to succeed. My guess though is that it was a south Korean (individual or group) protesting against the US having a military presence in South Korea with South Korea's official consent.

Unlike July 4th though, attacking Twitter is not an overt protest against America, especially since there are so many users from so many different countries. No, I think if a Hiroshima protest was the point, the attackers would have been much more to the point and chosen a serious target instead of a toy web service.

Really? What do you think about the wave of DDoS-attacks started on 4th of July?
ing_in_bot_attacks_on_U.S._sites_says_researcher...

The attacker is still unknown. Some say the botnet used South Korea zombi computers. Some say the master server was located in UK:

No markings of a political protest against America? 4th of July, The Independence Day?

> I am fully aware that the United States used atomic bombs

Good for you. As to me, I am fully UNaware that Russia used DDoS-attacks against Estonian or Georgian sites. No evidence at all. Yet I hear about these "Russian hackers" almost every day. From US papers.

And now, we are blamed for Twitter! That infantile service for mentally-deprived people with one-line brains. What a Russian on the Earth would be willing to kick down that piece of crap?

Randy Abrams — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 22:05:33 +0400

Brain washed? Memory editted? Are you quoting from Pravda?

If the Twitter attack had been due to Hiroshima then the attacker would have done things to make sure the political motivation was known. It seems the least likely explanation. Perhaps it was to celebrate Jamaica gaining it's independence from Britain on August 6th, 1962. Or maybe death penalty opponents commemorating August 6th 1890 when the electric chair was first used. No, it simply didn't have the markings of a political protest against America.

And no, I did not bomb Hiroshima. My parents didn't even know each other then. I am fully aware that the United States used atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki though.

ThreatSTOP — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 21:31:29 +0400

Hey guys, when I was interviewed, I in no way pointed the finger @ Russians. Nor, as far as I know, did Paul Ferguson (we're friends). I actually said it was probably some script kiddies. Those are USUALLY Americans. The developers who build ThreatSTOP are Russian, as is my VP of Engineering.
Now, that it coincides with "No Hard Feelings Day" (the tongue in cheek name for the day the US got back @ Japan for Pearl Harbor) is interesting, but probably not the cause, IMNSHO.

l_e_x_a — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 14:30:28 +0400

Graham, this story about "anti-Russian blogger Cyxymi" is in fact LAST YEAR story. When Livejournal was down in October 2008 they blamed that blogger. We wrote about it, too (see the date):
http://webplanet.ru/news/security/2008/10/27/cyxymu.html

Is it possible the same primitive trick killed three different sites a year later? I'd agree with you saying "Most people wouldn't have bothered clicking on the link" (in spam letters).

There should be something more serious. I don't say I know for sure really about Hiroshima. Just wonder why no one considers this idea.

Я пыталась работать с людьми, в отношении не на английском языке, веб-сайты и обеспечения продаж в страны, не свои собственные. Одна вещь, я сделал заключается в том, чтобы объяснить, как люди могут пользоваться переводом средств, чтобы получить их продаж информации на языках, которые они направлены. К сожалению, я есть замечания о том, что даже некоторые html инструменты могут не справиться с кириллицы (http://cindyking.biz/stop-pushing-your-foreign-visitors-away/), и когда я поместил статью о ezinearticles.com некоторые русские слова , на русском языке был включен в то, что, как представляется, случайных цифр и букв.

Я считаю это позор, что Вы не имеющие возможности использовать кириллицу, но думаю, что в долгосрочной перспективе это позволит использовать только один алфавит - для торговли, если ничего другого.

Я живу во Франции и французы оскорблены, что они не могут использовать акцентированных букв в их доменных имен.

I have been trying to work with people concerning non-English web sites and making sales to countries not your own. One thing I did was to explain how people can use translation tools to get their sales information in languages that they target. Unfortunately, I have comments that even some html tools can not handle the Cyrillic alphabet (http://cindyking.biz/stop-pushing-your-foreign-visitors-away/) and when I posted an article on ezinearticles with some Russian words, the Russian was switched into what seems to be random letters and numbers.

I feel it a shame that you will not be having the ability to use Cyrillic, but think in the long run it will help to only use the one alphabet - for commerce if nothing else.

I live in France and the French are offended that they can't use the accented letters in their domain names.

London maybe? As to Moscow, I managed to walk thru the customs having all my pastels with me as well as the toxic fixative spray for my artworks. No one cared.

I agree that this could be a money making scheme (they are good at that) surely a translate table of some-kind on the .RU / .RF DNS Systems between Latin and Cyrillic characters would actually be an easier option, plus would be less hidden, because a russian "a" would translate to a latin "a" (this is of course not the case again with Unicode)

l_e_x_a — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:01:00 +0300

Hi Scott. This is the author of the post in question. Just want to let you know I lived for a couple of years in the US. I've been to Britain as well. So I've seen enough with my own eyes to say what I say.

Speaking of English cultures: do you ever read the guy who wrote "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal"? I think this is exactly what we got in this situation. Free Software supporters say they care for openness and equal rights. Yet they call some guy "bad" for using Free Software. Why? Because he showed some patriotic views? Is it bad to be a patriot in England or US? Do you call such people "black sheeps" and give them less rights?

With this approach, Free Software ideas will never touch the ground in Russia. Not like in other countries, by the way. Some days ago French police said it moved to Linux. And in Germany, there are some politicians who dislike MS Windows, too. It's ok for them to express their patriotism and to look for alternative OS. But Russia will be Microsofted for some more years 'cos its paranoid children like to scare each other instead of work.

Гость — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 13:15:50 +0300

I completely agree with you. Indeed your English is much better than that of a Russian. Those arrogant Russians! They fail to speak English properly yet they open their mouth! Nobody will ever want to learn the language of such people! They just have to learn English and learn some culture too before any Westerner would talk to them seriously. How ridiculous is to say that Westerners need to learn Russian to understand Russia! Quite the opposite! Russians need to learn English to finally understand what's going on in their own country. How could they pretend they know their country any better than Westerners? The degree of Russian arrogance is striking. Westerners do speak English after all and they do not need to know any other language or anything else whatsoever to have the right for the final say on any matter in the Universe.
