2 Russians charged in multimillion-dollar malware scheme
The Justice Department unsealed charges Thursday against two Russian men in what authorities said was one of the worst computer hacking and bank fraud schemes of the past decade.
Prosecutors say the charges stem from the creation of malware known as “Bugat,” which was designed to automate the theft of confidential personal and financial information, including online banking logins, from infected computers. The malware, they say, was specifically designed to defeat antivirus software.
“Today’s announcement should make clear to those engaged in cybercrime that we will identify you, we will unmask you, and we will prosecute you, no matter how much effort it requires or how long it takes,” said Assistant Atty. Gen. Brian Benczkowski, who heads the Justice Department’s criminal division.
