Twins

In September 2012, the first trial in the history of Russia against a group of phishing scammers who stole money from Internet users was completed, the CNews publication wrote.

As a result of fraudulent actions, more than 170 customers of VTB24 Bank were affected in 46 regions of Russia. The total financial losses of victims at the hands of phishers amounted to 13 million rubles. The initiators of the fraud, twin brothers Evgeny and Dmitry Popelysh, were sentenced to six years of probation, as well as a fine of 450 thousand rubles each.

Gemini's second attempt

In May 2015, the Popelysh brothers were again detained for embezzlement of money from bank accounts. From 2013 to 2015, they gained access to more than 7 thousand customer accounts of various Russian banks. The average amount of theft was about 70 thousand rubles, but sometimes hackers managed to steal more than a million rubles from one client, and the average monthly income of attackers ranged from 500 thousand to 1.5 million rubles. In total, about 11 million rubles were stolen. According to two sources of RBC, the victims of the brothers were customers of major banks, including Sberbank and VTB24.

The attackers distributed the malware via text messages containing a link to download it under the guise of Adobe Flash Player. Administrator rights were requested during installation.
