[Krebs on Security] ‘Spam Nation’ Villain Vrublevsky Charged With Fraud

Krebs on Security has posted a new item.
Pavel Vrublevsky, founder of the Russian payment technology firm ChronoPay and the antagonist in my 2014 book “Spam Nation,” was arrested in Moscow this month and charged with fraud. Russian authorities allege Vrublevsky operated several fraudulent SMS-based payment schemes, and facilitated money laundering for Hydra, the largest Russian darknet market. But according to information obtained by KrebsOnSecurity, it is equally likely Vrublevsky was arrested thanks to his propensity for carefully documenting the links between Russia’s state security services and the cybercriminal underground.

Live Webinar: Making Response a Reality in MDR and XDR
Over 90% of security leaders indicate that they can’t investigate all of the security alerts they receive on a typical day. Alert overload restricts their ability to run a mature security operations program that enables fast, automated response capabilities.
Sign up to attend a live webinar on March 24th featuring guest speaker Jeff Pollard, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and Wesley Mullins, CTO at Deepwatch, as they dig into the MDR and XDR landscape and discuss what it means to move beyond alerting and into real, actionable response.
