The group is a subset of a larger criminal network known as the Partnerka, which normally turns a profit through spam promoting fake online drug vendors, and malware in the form of "scareware" anti-virus protection. The Partnerka have generally concentrated malware efforts on Windo... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/28/part.of.criminal.profit.making.scheme/ Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/31/russian.iphone.sales.low/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0907/RussiaiPhone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The iPhone 3G has been unsuccessful in the Russian market, says Fortune. Three major phone carriers began selling the device there six months ago. A deal with Apple required 3.5 million iPhones to be sold over a two- to three-year period; carriers and their retail partners, however, have only been able to sell 250,000 phones since the Russian release date.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/31/russian.iphone.sales.low/ Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/21/low.russian.iphone.sales/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/russia.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Extremely low Russian iPhone sales may threaten the country's three biggest cellphone carriers, several regional reports suggest. MTS, Megafon and Vimpelkom all agreed to carry the iPhone in 2008, with the provision that each would sell a minimum quantity. MTS agreed to sell 1 million phones in three years, while Megafon agreed to the same amount in two years. Vimpelkom made the most dramatic p... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/21/low.russian.iphone.sales/ Thu, 21 May 2009 19:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/06/russian.itunes.store/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0804/russia.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />At least some Russians could finally have normal access to the iTunes Store in 2009, reports say. While Macs, iPods and now iPhones are on sale in the country, Apple's online media storefront has been conspicuously absent, with the exception of the App Store. Music and/or video could be coming soon through an unusual deal with one of Russia's iPhone carriers, writes RBC Daily.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/06/russian.itunes.store/ Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/26/russian.iphone.on.oct.3rd/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/iphone3g-5.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The iPhone should go on sale in Russia October 3rd, Reuters reports. Nadezhda Senyuk, a PR director for Russia's Tekhnosila retail chain, explains that several retailers should begin selling the iPhone overnight between October 2nd and 3rd. Two other retailers, Eldorado and M.video, have confirmed Senyuk's statements by issuing separate announcements of an October 3rd sell date. Eldorado says i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/26/russian.iphone.on.oct.3rd/ Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/09/unlocked.russian.iphones/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/iphone3g-4.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Although pricing information was not mentioned, Russia-based Vimpelcom on Monday announced it would offer the iPhone with no subsidy, since Russian law dictates that locked phone are illegal. Reuters reveals that Vimpelcom CEO Alexander Izosimov confirmed the move at the Reuters Russia Investment Summit, continuing upon an official launch confirmation in late August.

This confirms speculation that Apple would be making deals with all three major Russian carriers, as the company signed deals with Vimpelcom and MegaFon earlier this week.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/05/mts.iphones.for.russia/ Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/02/megafon.gets.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Russia's third-largest telecom firm, Megafon, has announced that it has reached an agreement with Apple to carry the iPhone 3G, making it the second carrier in the country to offer the device.

The former corporation is now a member of Piper's Alpha List, due to three separate factors. The first of these is the current Back to School promotion, under which some Mac purchases by students are eligible for a free iPod touch, normally selling for $299. This has driven both... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/02/apple.in.piper.alpha.ranks/ Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/21/russian.iphone.3g.from.mts/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0808/mts-russianiphone3g-21.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Russia may be in line for the iPhone 3g via Mobile TeleSystems, according to claimed "market sources."
