Anatomy of an Illegal Online Pharmacy Operation: The GlavMed Files, Part 1

No doubt you've probably received a spam e-mail from Canadian Pharmacy. Maybe you were even tempted to buy some Cialis or other type of erectile dysfunction drug, often the main subject of the spam (though this example of a bogus online pharmacy shows a pretty wide array of meds). A Russian organization called GlavMed (go ahead, check it out, you have to admit the logo is kind of cool) is behind Canadian Pharmacy and who knows how many other illegal online pharmacy operations. You should also read I Kill Spammers' open letter to law enforcement on Glavmed's activities. Through our friends at Knujon, we've also come across what appears to be a manifesto for extending the organization's reach in the United States, which it seems to view as an easy target. If anybody out there knows Russian, we could use a little bit of translation help. We'll post more here on GlavMed in coming days, and anybody out there who knows more about them, let us know.
