Russian Court Hears Case Against Mystery RBS Hacker

A court in Novosibirsk, Russia, is taking up the case of a previously unnamed member of crew of hackers that is accused of stealing $9.4 million from RBS WorldPay. Eugene Anikin is believed to be the defendant referred to as Hacker 3 on the indictment. Another member of the same group, Victor Pleschuka, was sentenced to six years in prison by a court in St. Petersburg in August. The hackers then forged 44 counterfeit cards which were distributed to a ring of cashers to use to withdraw cash from ATMs.
