Russia, The Final Frontier For Data Centers?

If my understanding of the commercial malware industry is accurate, operating a data center in Russia would be great, until you're muscled into being a spam operation by local organized crime.

That's only until black bears break in and steal all your vodka supply, therefore neutralizing your sysadmins.

Dude, seriously. Russia is not Somalia or wild west.

No, it isn't. It's just a place where if you're a spam kingpin and you anger the wrong people, you'll get whacked.

Congratulations to everyone disagreeing with me by downmodding. Stay classy.

They are totally out to get you. Putin wants to nationalize your startup, Russian mob wants to force you into spam slavery (and will kill you if you don't do good job) and HN particpants want to silence you.

Or maybe you are blowing it out of proportion. Either one.
