Bulletproof hosting founder imprisoned for helping cybercrime gangs

34-year-old Russian Aleksandr Grichishkin, founder of bulletproof hosting service, sentenced to 60 months in prison for allowing cybercrime gangs to use the platform in attacks targeting US financial institutions between 2008 to 2015. He provided multiple cybercrime operations with the infrastructure (IP addresses, domains) needed to distribute malware, host phishing kits, breach targets’ networks, build botnets, and steal banking credentials. The FDIC estimated that just SpyEye and Zeus attacks caused roughly $64 million in damages to banks and their corporate clients in a single year.”]
