Andrey Turchin charged just two weeks after a cybersecurity firm claims to have unmasked him as an infamous hacker known as fxmsp.

Prosecutors said at least 30 American companies could’ve been breached by Turchin and his accomplices. None were named, though cybersecurity firm Trend Micro admitted some of its code was stolen in an attack carried out by fxmsp in 2019.

His victims, according to both the DOJ and Group-IB came from all manner of industries, indicating he was targeting anyone who was vulnerable to his hacks. Targets included a Nigerian bank, a luxury hotel chain, global government agencies, a port authority in Washington state, a New York-based airline and a Californian software development agency.
