In a nutshell, here are America's new hacking charges against seven Russian intelligence operatives

Behold the seven Russian hackers outed by Western officials on Thursday: Alexey Morenets, Evgeny Serebryakov, Ivan Ermakov, Artem Malyshev, Dmitry Badin, Oleg Sotnikov, and Alexey Minin. These men allegedly work for Russia's Military Intelligence Directorate and either hacked or tried to hack various antidoping agencies, the International Association of Athletics Federations, FIFA, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, a Pennsylvania-based nuclear energy company, as well as a whole lot more in a whole series of hacker attacks. The agents then leaked intentionally misleading fragments of some athletes’ personal data under the guise of the “Fancy Bear” hacktivist group, hoping to boost international sympathy for Russia in a doping scandal that has cost the country several medals and got it banned from the 2018 Olympic Winter Games.

Three of the suspects named on October 4 were indicted back in July, when the U.S. Attorney General’s Office charged them with crimes related to meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential race. The Justice Department’s new investigation was carried out independently from previous cases, but it reached similar conclusions.

The hackers operated primarily from Russia, but sometimes they went into the field, in order to hack local WiFi signals. All seven suspects are currently thought to reside in Russia, but the United States says it’s eager to “get its hands” on these men and “bring them to justice.”
