“Trickbot malware prosecution” is hitting a high note as Vladimir Dunaev, the digital maestro behind the notorious Trickbot malware, faces a potential 35-year symphony in prison.

Hot Take:

He's been caught in the web! Vladimir Dunaev, a skilled techie and one-time Trickbot malware maestro, just pled guilty to a criminal tune that could be the next Billboard hit, “35 Years Behind Bars.” Apparently, causing tens of millions in losses isn't as profitable when handcuffs and cell bars are part of the deal. US law enforcement continues to play whack-a-mole with the Trickbot crew, making it clear that they're not above playing global hide-and-seek to apprehend these cyber ne'er-do-wells.
