I suppose I just don't see what would motivate someone to slander an entire group of people based on the actions of a few. If someone is worried about cybercrime, they should say so rather than substituting "Russian" as a synonym for cybercriminal. To me that implies that cybercrime is an inherently Russian activity. Perhaps I am too quick to read racism against Russians into such an inflammatory use of the word "Russian" due to the amount of racial discrimination I have seen against Russian users while working in the game industry, where it is not uncommon to dismiss Russian gamers as probably a pirate or probably a hacker and to refuse them a level of support that would be provided to a person with a different accent or last name.
