From Siberia with Love: How Two Alleged Cybercriminals Got a Cold Reception from Russia’s FSB

Hot Take:

Two birds, one stone? More like two cyber villians and a whole lot of Siberian chill. Russia's FSB has nabbed two dudes who were allegedly aiding Ukraine in cyberattacks against the motherland. One's a nerdy student, the other a 36-year-old from a town so small it probably only has one traffic light. They're both staring down the barrel of high treason charges, and a potential 20-year vacation in prison. Not exactly the kind of 'time off' one dreams of, right?
