A Kostroma resident was sentenced to 7.5 years in a correctional camp for building hacking programs. Based on the FSB’s regional section, the young guy was a member of an organized criminal cell and assisted in the theft of money from electronic accounts of Russian citizens from other areas.
For his efforts, he earned a monthly monetary compensation ranging from $1,000 to 3,000 US dollars from the criminal group’s organizer. More than 2 billion rubles were taken through the electronic banking system using malicious software modules designed by him. Employees of the Federal Security Service discovered the group’s activities.
