Hartford court has sentenced the 23-years old Russian hacker Alexey Ivanov to four years of imprisonment. He has been brought in a verdict of guilty in criminal arrangement, computer hacking, blackmail and other crimes. Alexey Ivanov and Vasily Gorshkov have been arrested in USA in November, 2000. FBI started to keep an eye on them after numerous hacking of American companies' networks. Hackers were enticed from Russia to the US. For this purpose US special services have created false firm "Invita" which has invited hackers to the US for development of computer security system.

According to judge Elvin Thomson, Ivanov accounts for financial losses of Americans about $25 million. Alexey Ivanov will be under police surveillance during three years after imprisonment.
