Spammers Transferring Operations to Russia

Internet spammers are moving their domain registrations to Russia since China began a crackdown of its registration rules. Russia has long been a haven for spam domains due to their lax registration regulations and rules enforcement.

Unfortunately, even when security researchers trace back these botnets to specific spam domains in Russia, it can be difficult to push them offline, unless through coordinated takedowns by security researchers. "These registrars are notorious for ignoring abuse notification requests to suspend these illegal domains," said M86 Security.
