During the implementation of operational search activities of the Federal Security Service of Russia in the Samara region, a resident of the region was identified who was involved in the creation, use and distribution of malicious software in order to neutralize anti-virus protection tools.

It is established that the above-mentioned citizen created a "cryptoservice", with the help of which he provided services to "bypass" anti-virus protection, thereby allowing third parties to gain unauthorized access to personal data. For the above-mentioned illegal activity, the attacker received a cash reward on a systematic basis.

Based on the materials of operational search activities, the investigative department of the FSB initiated a criminal case against the suspect on the basis of documented episodes on the grounds of a crime under
Part 2 of Article 273 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

By the decision of the Kinelsky District Court of the Samara region, the defendant was found guilty of the crime incriminated to him and sentenced to 1 year and 6 months of restriction of freedom.
