Court in Moscow sentences senior Russian cyber intelligence official and an executive at a cybersecurity firm to 22-year prison sentence on treason charges.
MOSCOW — A court in Moscow on Tuesday sentenced a senior Russian cyber intelligence official and an executive at a cybersecurity firm to lengthy prison sentences on treason charges.
Details of the case remain murky. Some suggested that the arrest was linked to the Russian hacking of the 2016 U.S. presidential election and a hunt for a possible mole who tipped off U.S. intelligence agencies about Russian interference. Later reports indicated that Mikhailov was prosecuted for passing on details about an unrelated case to an American cybercrime analyst.
Vrublevsky, who denied the accusations, told The Associated Press that Mikhailov has abused his position at the FSB to go after Internet entrepreneurs like him and"turn them into cybercriminals", thus"whipping up cyber hysteria around the world."
