The Story of the tech.net.ru Crackers

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the caught-iwth-your-pants-down dept.

tabdelgawad writes "The Washington Post is running a three-part story (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) detailing the events of the arrest of the two Russian crackers, Vasiliy Gorshkov and Alexey Ivanov, from a couple of years ago (See also Previous Slashdot Story 1 and 2). The writeup is light on technical details, but includes fascinating information about the crackers' socioeconomic conditions and motivations, as well as the competence and effectiveness of the FBI in combatting cybercrime."

    Not to mention that nice sentence:

    I had several years experience programming VB, C#, ASP, and .NET Framework at the kernel level.

    I would never thought that MS is putting ASP in kernel! Hope you won't moderate this down because I had fun writing this :)
