Federal Judge Sentences Russian Spammer to Time Served
Though prosecutors said Peter Levashov’s botnet spamming services helped facilitate other crimes, the judge credited the Russian national’s admission of responsibility.
(CN) Prosecutors once described Peter Levashov as one of the internet’s most notorious spammers, a “bot master” of a network of tens of thousands of computers infected with malware that at one point could have spammed inboxes with 4 billion messages in a day.
On Tuesday afternoon, saying he was impressed with Levashov’s “prompt and complete acceptance of responsibility,” U.S. District Judge Robert Chatigny sentenced the Russian national to time served.
