The Krasnoselsky District Court in St. Petersburg sentenced a local resident to four years of probation with a four-year probationary period in a case of computer fraud. This was reported by the United Press Service of the City Courts. According to the researchers, in 2020 IT experts formed a group to steal funds from Abtorgbank. They used malware, created fictitious payment orders on behalf of customers and sent them to a Russian bank. The man joined the group in January 2021: he was looking for people to issue cards, collect data and withdraw stolen money from ATMs. In January 2021, 521.4 million rubles were deleted from the bank account, some of the transactions amounting to 70.6 million rubles.
