Microsoft pursues botnet operators via Russian newspapers

Microsoft has placed quarter-page notifications in two Russian newspapers, a legal formality required as part of its ongoing lawsuit in the U.S. against operators of Rustock, a defunct botnet used to send prolific amounts of pharmaceutical spam.

The advertisements serve to notify unnamed defendants in the legal suit and give them an opportunity to make their case, although it is extremely unlikely that anyone associated with Rustock would step forward. Microsoft believes Rustock's operators are located in Russia.
