I wonder how it's going for j7n.Finland's sources say the police there also struck. 90 computers captured from people http://www.itviikko.fi/uutiset/2014/05/19/poliisi-iski-voimalla-blackshades-konnia-vastaan--myos-suomessa/20147062/7

Re: Freemium Technology Reply #5 – 2014-05-19, 19:20:34 I assume something like this, yes, but my assumptions are harmless. If police suspects, that's not a laughing matter any more.

Re: Freemium Technology Reply #8 – 2014-05-30, 04:09:08 Everything about iPhone must seem oh so convenient and smooth for people. That's why it gets bought. But I seriously don't see what's the attraction. Any other phone is actually better in every aspect I can think of. iThingies are not popular in Estonia - expensive, awkward, few options, no freemium. Find a safer phone for your m-i-l.
