VILNIUS, August 6 (RAPSI) - The Latvian government has decided to extradite to the US Deniss Calovskis, who is accused of cyber crime, the Latvian media reports on Tuesday.

According to mixnews.lv, Calovskis, 27, who resides in Riga, has been charged with using a Gozi virus to infect over a million computers worldwide, including at NASA. He allegedly worked on the virus together with Russian national Nikita Kuzmin and Romanian national Mihai Ionut Paunescu.

US law enforcement officers arrested Kuzmin during his visit to California in 2010 and persuaded him to cooperate. He helped prosecutors nab the other two men, who were arrested in 2012 in their home countries and are awaiting extradition.

Kuzmin has been accused of developing the virus. Calovskis has been accused of modifying the virus, so that it could mimic a bank website, prompting account holders to divulge personal information. Paunescu has been accused of hosting command and control servers, thus shielding them from detection.
