The Russian Federation has long been a major source of cyber criminal activity. While financially-motivated operations such as phishing, trojans, botnets and even traditional spam operations targeting international financial institutions remain common, a growing number of Russian cyber criminals are targeting victims within their own county and/or engaging in activities such as distributed denial of service attacks aimed at competitors and occasionally political or social targets. This presentation will review some of the more salient characteristics of online criminal activity within the Russian Federation as well as some of the services and support available to the practitioners.
