Was one of world’s most successful cybercriminals also a spy? Wired editor Garrett M. Graff explains how Zeus malware inventor Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev and his criminal networks stole millions of dollars from individuals, businesses and banks worldwide between 2006 and 2014. Graff further explores how the FBI and other cybercrime experts worked to bring the Zeus networks down and reveals how their work inadvertently uncovered ties to Russian intelligence. getAbstract recommends this article to everyone interested in cybercrime, cybersecurity, and clandestine intelligence-gathering.

Take-Aways

  • Zeus malware allows hackers to monitor and steal information that targets enter into websites.
  • The FBI temporarily brought down the Zeus network in 2010 by using a copy of the server to successfully track and arrest 39 criminals.
  • In 2011, the network re-emerged with GameOver Zeus.
