I agree..

It does seem that the FBI is getting very serious now about cybercrime. Obviously they do have a ways to go in their investigative and analytical process, not to mention their press releases However it does seem that this is a step in the right direction. Maybe this arrest is just the tip of the iceberg as far as further investigations and arrests go.

At this point though, the message needs to go out loud and clear......Whether you are the authors of this stuff or merely the mules... you go to jail.
