According to the materials of the regional FSB, criminal cases were initiated against a criminal group for the creation, use and distribution of malicious computer programs.
The FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the territory of the Trans-Baikal and Krasnodar Territories, as well as the Kaliningrad Region, suppressed the illegal activities of an interregional criminal cyber group from among the natives of Transbaikalia. As a result of a set of operational-search measures and investigative actions, it was established that members of the criminal group had been creating, using and distributing malicious applications for mobile devices since 2021. Subsequently, the attackers used viruses to gain access to the banking and payment services of the victims and steal the money in their accounts, which they disposed of for personal enrichment.
To expand the geography of illegal activities, members of the cyber group constantly involved accomplices in the commission of crimes, including citizens of Ukraine, to whom part of the stolen money was transferred.
At present, the organizers and active members of the group have been detained and taken into custody, a criminal case has been opened against them, searches have been carried out at their places of residence and stay, in which phones, computer equipment, means of payment with traces of criminal activity have been seized.
