The Moscow Basmanny Court found three cybercriminals guilty of a case of breaking into the Russian Railways and S7 computer systems. According to the Moscow Interregional Transport Prosecutor’s Office, attackers using malicious software for the period from 2013 to 2014 issued more than 5 thousand receipts in the amount of 17 million rubles.

The organizers of the criminal group were a 30-year-old resident of the Leningrad region and a 32-year-old native of the Novosibirsk region, and an accomplice - a 33-year-old native of Moscow. In total, attackers committed more than 60 episodes of computer information fraud.

According to the prosecution, the criminals hacked into the electronic systems of Russian Railways and S7 to gain access to credentials and personal information of cashier accounts. Using the stolen information, they entered the data of the dummy passengers into an electronic receipt, made payment at the expense of the organization, and then handed over tickets and cashed money.

The defendants were found guilty of committing crimes under Part 1, 2 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code (creation of a criminal community, participation in a criminal community) and part 2, part 4 of article 159.6 of the Criminal Code (fraud in the field of computer information committed by an organized group).
Matyusheva M. was sentenced to 13 years, A. Zhdanov - to 12.5 years in a strict regime colony, and K. Kulabukhova - to ten years in a general regime colony.
