🤖This is absolutely WILD stuff!
In 2007, a massive spam campaign promoting 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul was traced to a Ukrainian botnet.
"The Paul base is most famous, though, for its use of the Internet. Comments by Paul supporters appear all over blogs, so much that conservative website Red State put a ban on them last week. They flood text message polls after every debate, and Internet polls as well. TechPresident noted that the GOP Straw Polls site dropped Ron Paul from its polls because they felt the Paul supporters were somehow rigging its polls."
And so it goes: the more things change, the more they remain the same 😎
