Some interesting notes on Revcode

How fascinating! A Blackshades developer returning and selling malware under the guise of legality? One would think that being in prison for a bit would’ve taught him a lesson. I suppose the 350k he and his “friends” made convinced him otherwise. Another interesting note: they have now added the C++ client. However, what is most strange is that the C++ client does not support Windows XP apparently. Sheer incompetence or what? Who knows, only time will tell.
