The world's most wanted hacker is basically a nerdy supervillain
On Sunday, the New York Times published a story on Evgeniy M. Bogachev, described as "the most wanted cybercriminal in the world," full of details about the hacker's crimes, plots, some incredible tidbits and a photo to end all amazing FBI photos.
Bogachev has long been sought after for his hacking schemes, draining millions of dollars from businesses the world over and placing him in control of hundreds of thousands of computers. His GameOver Zeus malware scheme, which was shut down in 2014, netted him a Scrooge McDuck-sized vault of money to swim in.
And Bogachev hasn't curtailed his activities; according to the Times story, it's believed he's in cahoots with Russian intelligence. He was, after all, one of the individuals to have sanctions levied against him by the Obama administration in late 2016 in response to allegations of Russian hacking aimed at affecting the U.S. presidential election.
