This week, the Federal Great Jury has charged Russian Amin Stigal. He was accused of collusion for fraud by breaking and destroying computer systems using Whispergate.
According to the accusation, the stigal and its unnamed co -founders of Russian intelligence, the GRU, have struck at least two dozen of protected computers, including at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Judicial Administration, the Ministry of Energy and the State Emergency Service.
