I notice substantial overlap between the things these men are wanted for and what the NSA and FBI have been doing....

Credit card and financial fraud? That's the common thread across all these postings.

The NSA and FBI don't like competition.

What about Andrey Nabilevich Taame?

He hijacked people's DNS and replaced ads. Doesn't Comcast do that?

And how about CARLOS ENRIQUE PEREZ-MELARA?

He sold a key logger, and didn't even have the key logger send the information back to himself. The only thing that seems criminal is that it allowed purchasers to install it using a drive-by exploit.

Comcast only "hijacks" your DNS if you use their servers. Opendns does the same, btw.

If all this talk of Comcast is about them doing ad pages for NXDOMAIN results, these jokes/digs on them are rather stale - and incorrect.

When Comcast switched to DNSSEC, they dropped their (non-existent) domain hijacking as it was an incompatible practice ... Almost 2 years ago, infact.

I don't have love for Comcast but please do make accurate commentary.
