It follows from the court verdict that Kovalenko, having found accomplices on the Internet - "traffers", sent them malicious files, which they, under the guise of e-mail distributions, were supposed to distribute to the computers of foreign citizens - residents of Western Europe, as well as North and South America.

sites, electronic and information and telecommunication networks, including the Internet, for a period of 2 years. The verdict did not enter into force.
