Alexander Tverdokhlebov is accused of using a botnet of around 10,000 infected computers to steal passwords and login credentials to online bank accounts. He and an accomplice, Vadim Polyakov, are alleged to have engaged in wire fraud between May 2008 and February 2010. The U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, to where the case has been transferred, this week argued against his pretrial release citing serious flight risk concerns.”]
