He faces up to 10 years in prison and an obligation to pay a fine of up to $ 250,000.
The Russian agreed to a prison sentence of up to 10 years, as well as the need to pay a fine of up to 250 thousand dollars (more than 18.5 million rubles). Now this agreement with the investigation will soon be approved by the court, after which Firsov will be sentenced.
The accused admitted that he was the administrator of the portal deer.io where they sold stolen personal information and credit card information. According to the indictment, more than 250 online stores analyzed by the FBI sold access to hacked accounts, hacked servers, and personal information such as the names, social security numbers, dates of birth, and addresses of victims. During the investigation, the FBI employees repeatedly bought the stolen data from stores located on Deer.io, and confirmed the accuracy of the information.
In an agreement with the investigation, Firsov said that for the most part his victims were Russians, but he received about $ 1.2 million in income from the sale of information about US citizens. This fact allowed the FBI to pursue Firsov in a US court and detain him upon arrival in the country. The Russian sold social security numbers, dates of birth and addresses of Americans, and such data is often enough for fraudsters to get a credit card or a loan in the name of the victim.
The US authorities detained Firsov on suspicion of stealing personal data of California residents for their further sale with the aim of using them in false identity cards. The Prosecutor's Office of the Southern District of California calls Firsov the administrator of the platform DEER.IO. The Russian was detained at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport in March 2020.
The US authorities claimed that this platform is based in Russia. This resource was allegedly used to sell information stolen by hackers, including personal data and information about bank accounts.
