Comments and grade Overall, this appears to be a well-planned and organized wiki. You do have some information gaps, particularly regarding Spyeye and Zeus.

Rimecud has far too many passive sentences and a few mispellings. They must be fixed before you turn in the final project.
Grade: B- (one point above C+)

The creator of spamit.com, Igor A. Gusev of Russia, fled his home country, because he is being investigated by the Russian Police. A Russian law enforcement agency raided Gusev’s house and found five hard drive and three laptops, which the Police used to press charges (6). Because Gusev is wanted, he will not return to the country. Without the creator and mastermind of spamit.com, and the evidence obtained by the police, spamit.com will not be running back up again in the near future.If caught Gusev will spend up to five years in prison (7).
