Two Eastern European nationals have been sentenced in the U.S. for offering “bulletproof hosting” services to cybercriminals. They used the technical infrastructure to distribute malware and attack financial institutions across the country between 2009 to 2015. The defendants also helped their clients anonymize their criminal activity from law enforcement by monitoring sites used to blocklist technical infrastructure and then moving the content to a new infrastructure that was registered under false or stolen identities. The other two co-defendants are pending sentencing and face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.”]
