    wo Russian spies are among four individuals indicted by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) over a huge theft of Yahoo user accounts.

    The members of the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency, conspired with criminal hackers, according to DOJ officials announcing the charges.

    Previously, Yahoo said "state-sponsored" hackers were behind the 2014 breach affecting 500 million accounts....

    The suspects were named in a DOJ press release as:

    • Dmitry Aleksandrovich Dokuchaev, 33, a Russian national and FSB officer
    • Igor Anatolyevich Sushchin, 43, a Russian national and FSB officer
    • Alexsey Alexseyevich Belan, 29, a Russian national and resident
    • Karim Baratov, 22, a Canadian and Kazakh national and a resident of Canada

    Case mentioned is case of Ruslan Stoyanov, accused of violating article 275 of Criminal Law of RF, "High Treason".

    A personal theory - there might - might - be a case of group of members of FSB working with USA intelligence services. For example, that may explain the possibility of CIA masking their own hackings as work of citizens of RF - they may have been provided all that is necessary for masking it, or even a direct assitance. Not proven, but then again - there is no solid proofs of anything so far, yet.

    October 03, 2017 - Yahoo on Tuesday said that all 3 billion of its accounts were hacked in a 2013 data theft, tripling its earlier estimate of the size of the largest breach in history, in a disclosure that attorneys said sharply increased the legal exposure of its new owner, Verizon Communications.
