Russian Hacker Who Allegedly Hacked LinkedIn and Dropbox Extradited to US

Yevgeniy Aleksandrovich Nikulin, 30, of Moscow was arrested in Prague on October 5, 2016, by Interpol agents working in collaboration with the FBI. He was recently extradited to the United States from the Czech Republic on Thursday for his first court appearance in federal court. Nikulin faces a maximum of 32 years in prison and a massive fine of more than $1 Million. The U.S. Justice Department accused Nikulin of allegedly hacking into computers belonging to three American social media firms, including LinkedIn, the online cloud storage platform Dropbox and now-defunct social networking firm Formspring.
