He is accused of committing crimes in the field of computer information, as well as illegal possession of weapons and drugs, according to the press service of the Russian Interior Ministry in the Primorsky Territory.
According to police officers, the attacker attracted his son and three other people to commit the crimes. Their scheme worked smoothly: the accused obtained by illegal means computer information from various organizations in the country. The cybercriminals found vulnerable systems and, using malicious programs, “hacked” the protection. They selected the right combination of logins and passwords for user credentials, which allowed them to easily obtain legally protected computer information.

They promised to unblock the data for a reward in cryptocurrency, which had to be sent to a specific account of an online wallet, '' said the Russian MIA Administration for the Primorsky Territory.
