This isn't surprising. I've always seen br up there with ru in terms of hacker comminity activity.
I noticed the two articles are set to be translated from Spanish. I have another interesting piece of info about Brazil: the language is Portugeuse and that is what those articles are written in. Note it looks a lot more like French than Spanish does.
You are right about the language in Brazil, but the articles are written in Spanish. Dead giveaways: "los", "más" (with the accent), "uno" and the letter "ñ".
And I'm not sure it looks more like French than Spanish. As a native Portuguese speaker with no education on either Spanish or French, I can understand Spanish much better than French.
Too bad I haven't earned a downvote button in my account yet. :( Please don't spread misinformation, it's clearly Spanish, not "Portugeuse" (sic), and Portuguese looks nothing like French, at least no more so than Spanish. I can't even begin to imagine where you got these impressions.
The reason delphi is used is because the majority of this stuff is for Windows. Delphi has a LOT of stuff that makes development way way faster than say c++ when you are dealing with windows -- and the majority of these HAVE to use something lower level because of 'interesting' security implications that you can't utilize in stuff like the CLR (via c#)
this isn't surprising at all -- latin america boxes are extremely cheap to buy -- the only ones that are cheaper are asian ones
BUT, the reason people still buy them (the computers) is because if you are trying to sell something (rather than just DDOS someone) it is easier to convert someone from say Brazil rather than China through say a dating offer to match.com from a popup

there are hundreds of markets like this, it's cheap, it's easy, and I could name TONS of companies that do NOT CARE that their affiliates use them
