Political issues aside for a second, what makes anyone think that the company or individuals behind this are in Panama? Just because the mail goes to Panama does not mean a thing. There are also more lax regulations (I would assume) about renting post office boxes outside of the United States. Has anyone considered that this might be work of the people who introduced BRAIN to the world? Other than the address, it might well be the same culprits. Rather than worry about who did it, perhaps it would be a better idea to figure out what to do about? After all the potential for damage is quite high, and little seems to be know about what is happening, so far.
