In St. Petersburg, officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the FSB of Russia stopped illegal access to computer information about the movement of trains.
Officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the FSB of Russia brought 12 local residents to the investigating authorities. They may be involved in the organization of illegal access to computer information protected by law about the movement of trains on the territory of the Russian Federation.
"It has been preliminarily established that the attackers have been engaged in criminal business since 2020. The organizer was a former employee of the information and computing center of a large railway company. He colluded with his former and current colleagues.
The defendants organized an unauthorized connection to the terminal, which received information about the schedule and routes of freight trains in real time.
