Dmitry Aleksandrovich Dokuchaev, 33, a Russian national and resident; Igor Anatolyevich Sushchin, 43, a Russian national and resident; Alexsey Alexseyevich Belan, aka “Magg,” 29, a Russian national and resident; and Karim Baratov, aka “Kay,” “Karim Taloverov” and “Karim Akehmet Tokbergenov,” 22, a Canadian national and a resident of Canada. Confused? Wait for it.
Karim Baratov, aka Kay, aka Karim Taloverov, aka Karim Akehmet Tokbergenov, 23, was sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay a fine, which encompasses all of his remaining assets. This is from the press release on the Yahoo hackers who were paid by the Russian FSB to get accounts and passwords from Yahoo. The story fits well with the Russia, Russia, Russia fixation and makes a good story. It does take a long time ( the hack was in 2014) to get Justice for these guys, but maybe that was justified to find out what the FSB was really up to. The numbers of accounts keeps going up every month or so. What were they doing with all those accounts?
