MOSCOW – A Moscow court sentenced the founder of Russia’s top cybersecurity firm to 14 years in prison for treason on Wednesday.
While the charges against him have never been made public because of secrecy surrounding treason trials in Russia, he was alleged to have given the US government information regarding a hacking team in Moscow’s GRU military intelligence service – dubbed “Fancy Bear” by US cybersecurity companies – and its efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election, according to people familiar with the matter.
Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2017 suggested that “patriotically minded” Russians could have been involved in hacking during foreign elections, while repeating past denials that Moscow had anything to do with cyberattacks on the campaign of Mrs Hillary Clinton, the Democratic contender defeated by Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
Mikhailov was arrested in Moscow in December 2016, one month after the US presidential election, and charged with treason.
