the police detained 9 people involved in the activities of the largest hacking network. It was disclosed a year ago. However, the investigation continues.
This hacking network consisted of a dozen people from 17 different cities. In 3 years of existence, the attackers had committed dozens of illegal fraud, stealing vast sums of money from accounts of clients of Russian banks. The activities of the group during the extraordinary operations of the interior Ministry and the FSB of Russia was prevented in may last year. But new suspects in this high-profile case there are to this day.
“For the period of its activity with 50 members of an organized group managed to translate from the accounts of banking organizations more than 1 billion rubles. In addition to illegal entry into the banking system, on account of cyber criminals hacking critical infrastructure, including transport facilities and strategic industrial enterprises of the Russian Federation”, — said the official representative of the Ministry of internal Affairs of Russia Irina the Wolf.
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Krai, Sverdlovsk oblast – the geography of this huge web hacking. At the moment, criminal charges were brought against 27 people. Law enforcement officers raided 34 addresses. In addition to a variety of computers, laptops, hard drives and flash drives, hackers had seized weapons and about 4.5 million rubles, nothing to hide criminals failed.
the police detained 9 people, also implicated in the case, but the investigation is still ongoing. The investigation of such cases can take years. This is due to the fact that hackers use all possibilities not to be found. It often happens that to detect the fact of theft with the help of information technologies is easier than whoever the theft was committed.
“unfortunately, at the current time, technologies do not allow, if the attack is carried out correctly, using a VPN and software TOR — there is no way to quickly open the ultimate performers who perpetrate this attack,” said the security officer Mikhail Zyuzin.
Using these methods of concealing their attacks, the hackers win. After all, to discover the specific person responsible for the hacking, investigators do not rare to request data from foreign companies to store VPN information. It is worth saying that this information is stored not always. What hackers manage to avoid responsibility. At the moment, the detainees charged under article 210 of the “Creation of criminal community”. In the case of evidence of guilt, the hackers will be required to pay substantial penalties and can be jailed for up to two years.
