Inside the Russian Cybercrime Underground

Through interviews with former participants, we examine how these groups developed specialized malware, ran massive botnets, and pioneered the ransomware-as-a-service model. The narrative follows the evolution of Russian cybercrime from early credit card theft rings to today's sophisticated state-tolerated enterprises, revealing the complex relationship between criminal hackers and state authorities.
