Four Men Charged With Hacking 500M Yahoo Accounts
The U.S. Justice Department today unsealed indictments against four men accused of hacking into a half-billion Yahoo email accounts. Two of the men named in the indictments worked for a unit of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) that serves as the FBI's point of contact in Moscow on cybercrime cases. Here's a look at the accused, starting with a 22-year-old who apparently did not try to hide his tracks.
According to a press release put out by the Justice Department, among those indicted was Karim Baratov (a.k.a. Kay, Karim Taloverov), a Canadian and Kazakh national who lives in Canada. Baratov is accused of being hired by the two FSB officer defendants in this case -- Dmitry Dokuchaev, 33, and Igor Sushchin, 43 -- to hack into the email accounts of thousands of individuals.
