The operation was carried out in collaboration with the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow and Saint Petersburg regions, as well as in the Crimea and Sevastopol, North Ossetia, Kaluga, Pskov, Samara and Tambov regions. It is noted that criminals received data “as a result of unauthorized access to user accounts of the Internet and payment systems” and created more than 90 online shops to sell it.
