The United States has charged two Russians for allegedly running a global hacking group called “Evil Corp” from their basements.
Indictments against Igor Turashev and Maksim Yakubets were issued on Thursday, accusing them of using malware to steal millions of dollars.
A $5m bounty has been offered for information leading to Yakubet’s arrest and prosecution – the largest reward ever offered for a cybercriminal.
