Russian cybercrime suspect extradited to US over bank account takeovers

A 36-year-old Russian web developer accused of participating in a multimillion-dollar bank account takeover scheme has been extradited to the United States, federal authorities said Tuesday.
Sergei Anatolyevich Filimonov appeared in an Atlanta federal court on Sept. 4 and pleaded not guilty to charges including fraud and identity theft, prosecutors said.
“Filimonov allegedly used spoofed domains and fraudulent login pages to target unsuspecting online banking customers, stealing millions from victims,” said Marlo Graham, FBI Atlanta’s special agent in charge, according to The Record.
