Trickbot dev arrested in Moscow

Posted on July 19, 2024 by Dissent

Catalin Cimpanu reports:

Russian authorities have allegedly arrested a member of the Trickbot cybercrime gang in Moscow this week.

According to a report from Russian news channel Baza, authorities have detained a 37-year-old man named Fedor Andreev on the morning of July 15 in a house in South Moscow.

Andreev was allegedly detained based on an Interpol red notice issued by Germany in May.

He is one of eight individuals identified and charged following Operation Endgame—a Europol operation that took down command and control servers for six of the world’s largest botnets (Bumblebee, IcedID, Pikabot, Smokeloader, SystemBC, and Trickbot).

According to German authorities, Andreev has been a member of the Trickbot gang since 2020, where he went under the hacker pseudonyms of “Azot” and “Angelo.”

So what is Russia up to? Why are they arresting him? Do they hope to trade him for someone Germany is holding?
