Alleged Russian Hackers Are Among FBI's Most Wanted

[Judas]

[quote] One is a 33-year-old Russian national who reportedly usually sports a shaved head and enjoys boating in the Black Sea. The other is a 29-year-old from Latvia alleged to have 10 online aliases and to sometimes dye his brown hair red or blond.

The two men are notorious hackers on the FBI's most-wanted list who were singled out this week by the U.S. Treasury Department.

A senior administration official said both men are "notorious cybercriminals who have been responsible for ... havoc in the international financial system, including against American companies."

Evgeniy Bogachev and Aleksey Belan are not being connected to alleged Russian efforts to interfere with U.S. election processes, according to the Treasury Department, although sanctions against them were announced at the same time as sanctions against other Russian individuals and entities allegedly involved in efforts to interfere with U.S. election-related institutions.

"As all of these actions make clear, we will not tolerate the abuse of our systems, including our election systems, by foreign actors," the senior administration official said of the sanctions in a call to reporters.

Here is what is known about the two hackers: [/quote]

Quoted for visibility, in case people would start posting about it.
Although the timing is indeed somewhat suspicious

It's always funny to see what details news stations like to pick out about people. Only 10 aliases, no wonder they've been identified, you need at least 40 before you're a real hacker, maybe they thought the hair dye would cover for them. :v:

This is what happens when you don't use at least 7 proxies!

1 proxy per alias
