Text of report in English by Russian AVN Military News Agency web site
Southwestern European Russia, 18 October: The Federal Security Service
(FSB) department in Voronezh Region has completed investigation of the
criminal case against a programmer of the Energiya research and
production enterprise, a spokesman for the department told
Interfax-Military News Agency on Monday [18 October]. 

The programmer was detained following an inspection by an FSB technical
intelligence unit. 

Aiming to receive free access to the Internet, the programmer used a
harmful programme of codes and password breaking.  After getting access
to confidential registration data on the mainframe computer, the
programmer used the Internet at the expense of the enterprise. 
Moreover, the enterprise's database contains service correspondence with
space industry companies, in particular, with the Khrunichev space
research and production centre and the US Boeing company, which created
prerequisites for classified data leaks. 

The department has also completed investigation of the case brought
against two other programmers.  For a long time they spread and used
computer viruses which helped them penetrate into other computers
through the Internet, copy confidential information, including Internet
passwords, and work with other computers without notification of their
owners.  As a result the two programmers spent some 300 hours on the
Internet illegally, causing serious financial damage to legal users. 
Virus-contaminated e-mails were sent to over 400 individuals and
organizations, including the regional administration, Novovoronezhskaya
nuclear power plant, several local law-enforcement bodies, banks and
media outlets.
