«The man repented of his crime, so the court issued a rather lenient sentence to two years conditionally, — TASS was told in the FSB Department of the Kurgan region. «The decision has entered into legal force», — added the Agency, without specifying when and where the trial took place.
7 September 2015 in a press-service UFSB of the Urals reported on the completion of the investigation 27-year-old resident of Barrow, who organized a DDoS attack on the official Internet resource of the Russian President, and the delivery of materials to the court for consideration on the merits.
When was committed the cyber attack, the secret service did not elaborate. According to the FSB, the young man who worked on one of the industrial enterprises of the capital of the Urals, using downloaded from the Internet malicious program, within a few minutes sent to the site kremlin.ru over 1.3 thousand messages to «block all incoming connections and to overflow the buffer of the RAM».
«As a result, users could not access to the target portal,» said then the FSB, stressing that the work of the presidential website cyber attack is not affected.
The hacker was charged under part 1 of article 273 («Creation, use and distribution of malicious computer programs») of the criminal code, providing punishment till four years of imprisonment with the penalty to 200 thousand rubles. However, the computer bully fully admitted his guilt and actively contributed to the investigation of crime, have noted in FSB.
14 September 2015 the President’s press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalists that the day before — in a single election day in Russia — a serious attack by hackers has exposed the Kremlin website and the website of the CEC. «Protective system coped, even though it was difficult, the attack was quite powerful,» said Sands.
Earlier in open sources have repeatedly appeared information about attacks on the Kremlin website. For example, it is known that in the summer of 2014 DDoS attack attempted to implement 17-year-old student from Novosibirsk. He explained that just wanted to try out a malicious program. In April 2015, he was convicted under the same section 1 of article 273 and immediately amnestied in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the great Patriotic war, reported the Prosecutor’s office of the region. Another resident of Novosibirsk was attacked on the Kremlin website in January 2014. It, according to media reports, also amnestied.
Especially powerful attack on the website of the Kremlin was conducted in March 2014. Then, the TASS source in the Kremlin said that «similar spamming happening all the time, but with different degree of activity».
DDoS-attacks (from the English. Distributed Denial of Service — distributed denial of service) called the creation of a large number of requests for a particular website, causing the server can not stand and the site opens with a long delay or some time stops to open. Typically, DDoS attacks are executed simultaneously with a large number of computers infected with a virus. Sometimes owners are not even aware that their device is used for this purpose. DDoS attacks periodically remain out of sight of the police.
