FBI nabs Russian hackers
Two Russians were indicted on computer-crime charges stemming from a rash of intrusions
into the networks of banks, Internet service providers and other companies, a U.S. federal
prosecutor said Monday.
The two alleged network intruders, identified as 20-year-old Alexey Ivanov and 25-year-old Vasiliy Gorshkov, were indicted earlier this month on counts of conspiracy, wire fraud and violations of the Computer Crime and Abuse Act, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Schroeder.
The duo allegedly broke into the computer systems of several e-commerce companies, stole
credit-card information and then returned to the companies as "consultants" to charge for fixing the flaw.
