    Bug Malware Gang's $14.8 Million Bank Account Frozen !!!

    The US Attorney's office has today frozen a Swiss bank account belonging to Sam Shaileshkumar. Mr. Shaileskumar, together with Björn Sundin were the main figures behind Innovative Marketing Ukraine, a malware house that was operating from Ukraine. Neither Shaileshkumar or Sundin were nationals of Ukraine themselves. Shaileshkumar holds a US passport while Sundin is Swedish.

    The amount of money in the frozen account? A cool $14,800,000. This is believed to be only part of the proceeds IMU did while using malware to push out rogue security products such as "Systemdoctor".

    More & Source .
    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.

    Looks like scareware is competing with security software companies in terms of revenue
