1…………> “Dark Net” Gangster: Levashov

 

Peter Yuryevich Levashov, aka “Petr Levashov,” “Peter Severa,” “Petr Severa” and “Sergey Astakhov,” 38, of St. Petersburg, Russia, pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Hartford, Connecticut, to offenses stemming from his operation of the Kelihos botnet, which he used to facilitate malicious activities including harvesting login credentials, distributing bulk spam e-mails, and installing ransomware and other malicious software.

“For over two decades, Peter Levashov operated botnets which enabled him to harvest personal information from infected computers, disseminate spam, and distribute malware used to facilitate multiple scams,” said Assistant Attorney General Benczkowski.

“We are grateful to Spanish authorities for his previous arrest and extradition. Today’s guilty plea demonstrates that the Department will collaborate with our international law enforcement partners to bring cybercriminals to justice, wherever they may be.”

“Mr. Levashov used the Kelihos botnet to distribute thousands of spam e-mails, harvest login credentials, and install malicious software on computers around the world,” said U.S. Attorney Durham.

“He also participated in online forums on which stolen identities, credit card information and cybercrime tools were traded and sold. For years, Mr. Levashov lived quite comfortably while his criminal behavior disrupted the lives of thousands of computer users. Thanks to the collaborative work of the FBI and our partners in law enforcement, private industry, and academia, a prolific cybercriminal has been neutralized, and has now admitted his guilt in a U.S. courtroom.”

 

According to court documents and statements made in court, a botnet is a network of computers infected with malicious software that allows a third party to control the entire computer network without the knowledge or consent of the computer owners.

…..This was done by the Democrats to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason, like old age, add them to the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!

3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report huge numbers, like 3000…

3…………> Dangerous Hurricane: Florence

It’s enormous, it’s dangerous, and it’s going to hit, and unless a miracle happen, and soon, hurricane Florence is on track to make landfall on the US east coast somewhere along South or North Carolina around Friday morning Australian time.

It’s screaming winds blast of more than 140 mi/h , and forecasters warn it threatens to create a storm surge that in some places will reach 12 feet high.

Because the hurricane has traveled over the warmer-than-usual ocean, it has accumulated vast volumes of moisture. And that means rain. Massive amounts.

“Once the storm does move inland, the inland flooding threat is extreme, with
15 to 25 inches of rain is forecast, with up to 40 inches near the exact center of Florence”, a weather expert warned.
