“Employees of the Sloboda Directorate of Cyber Police established a 29-year-old resident of Kharkov in this activity. Since 2018, a man has been hacking remote servers for the subsequent sale of information obtained illegally, ”the message says.
In particular, to attract customers, he placed ads on the sale of access to remote servers on specialized sites and forums. To pay for services, Russian electronic payment systems were used.
