Investigators have previously noted that Koshkin provided an “important service” that allowed other cybercriminals to infect thousands of computers around the world.
Koshkin was detained shortly after the arrest of Pyotr Levashov, the operator of the Kelihos botnet, who lived in Estonia. Levashov was arrested in Barcelona and then extradited to the United States, where he pleaded guilty.
Levashov was recently sentenced to 33 months in prison and three years under supervision after his release. Since Levashov was arrested in Spain back in 2017 and has been in custody since then, he has already served his term.
Law enforcement officers write that Levashov used the cryptor from 2014 to 2017 (up to his arrest) and paid Koshkin about $ 3,000 a month for services. It is emphasized that in the last four months alone, Kelihos managed to infect about 200,000 computers around the world.
Let me remind you that we also talked about the fact that John McAfee found dead in a Spanish prison.
