It is reported that the cybercriminal has already appeared before the US court and received a sentence in the form of a preliminary annual arrest. John Cronin, acting head of the criminal division of the US Department of Justice, claims that Levashov was involved in computer attacks on US government agencies, identity theft and the hacking of electronic accounts of high-ranking officials.
Defense Levashov said the opposite, saying the programmer was forced to hide and lead a double game, as he was afraid of compelling the Russian side to transfer confidential data.
Recall that the Russian hacker Peter Levashov was arrested on April 8 in Barcelona at the request of Interpol,.
As reported in the "URA-Inform," a resident of Ohio, Phillip Durachanski on Wednesday was accused of illegally tracking and collecting data from computers of citizens and organizations of the United States.
