So what does Mr. Paul have to say about someone spamming in his name
through a botnet?

(botnet = a network of trojan-infected computers which are used
without the knowledge of the computer owners - usually to spam,
sometimes for worse things. Allegedly a Rooski-controlled botnet
staged a denial of service attack on Estonian bank websites a few
months ago in what was called the first cyberwar.)

Nenastnyj vs Ron Paul
SecureWorks’ Joe Stewart recently revealed that the culprit behind
October’s Ron Paul spamming was a low-level spammer-for-hire known as
nenastnyj. I’m not saying there’s a vast neocon/communist conspiracy or
anything, but using the same transliteration system taught by the Defense
Language Institute, nenastnyj is a Russian word meaning “rainy.” The botnet
software used by nenastnyj was also Russian–or at least CIS–and probably
controlled by a server in one of the CIS nations. The likelihood of this
all being coincidence is fair, since DLI has probably trained tens of
thousands of Russian translators over the years and is almost certainly not
the only entity to teach this particular system. It might even be taught by
Russian universities. I just thought it was interesting enough to share.
