MOSCOW, March 12 (RAPSI) – The police detained suspected hackers in Russia who are believed to have stolen about $58,000 from client accounts of a US bank, the Russian Interior Ministry said in a statement Wednesday.

“After the funds were transferred to the accounts of a payment system, the suspects moved them to accounts with large Russian banks and then withdrew the money via ATMs in Moscow, Perm and Krasnodar,” the statement reads.

Information from ATM security cameras led the police to a Perm resident. They established that the criminal group was a family and that the key figure was the family’s 19-year-old son.

The police found bank card blanks, equipment for encoding information onto blank cards, and other evidence from the crime at the alleged hackers’ apartment.  The detained members of the alleged criminal group were released on their own recognizance after pleading guilty.

According to business technology site ZDNet, the cybercrime police warned back in 2005 that Russian hackers were among the most active in the world. The Turkish daily newspaper Hurriyet reported in 2013 that Russian hackers had stolen the personal ID data of 54 million Turkish citizens.

Four of the ten most wanted cybercriminals sought by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation are Russian nationals.
