The FBI has arrested the man that they allege is behind the notorious Mega-D botnet, which at one point accounted for nearly a third of all of the spam on the Internet. The arrest came to light this week after the man was caught entering the U.S. last month on his way to a car show. The FBI alleges Oleg Nikolaenko worked with affiliates in several countries around the world to push a variety of products through spam, including fake watches and herbal supplements. He is being held in Wisconsin and is expected to make his first appearance in court today.
