14 years prison for man who helped hackers evade detection by anti-virus software

Latvian Ruslans Bondars, 37, was convicted of conspiracy to violate computer crime laws, commit wire fraud, and computer intrusion with intent to cause damage. He worked in conjunction with co-conspirator Jurijs Garrik Martisevs on the notorious Scan4You website. The website allowed criminals to upload their latest malware to receive a report on whether any of a range of anti-virus products would detect it as malicious. The Citadel malware was then used to steal tens of millions of customer credit card details from US retail giant Target.”]
