2017: Arrest on the case of treason

On January 25, 2017 it became known of detention of the top manager of Kaspersky Lab Ruslan Stoyanov. He is arrested within case of high treason, Kommersant with reference to the sources writes.

According to the edition, the head of department of investigation of cybercrimes of Kaspersky Lab  Ruslan Stoyanov is arrested at the end of December, 2016 and placed in the pre-trial detention center "by Lefortovo.

Arrest can be connected with investigation concerning one of deputy heads of the Information Security Center (ISC) of FSB Sergey Mikhaylov who is suspected of receiving money from the foreign organization with mediation of the employee of the Russian company in the field of information security. The name of this company is not reported. Investigation is conducted on suspicion of violation of Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("High treason").

Kommersant reports that among other relationship of TsIB with private companies which cooperated with division when conducting examinations on cybercrimes is checked.

The department of investigation of computer incidents of Kaspersky Lab since 2013 helped FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to analyze cybercrimes and also was engaged in expert maintenance of criminal cases in the field of cyber security.

Interlocutors of the edition call Mikhaylov one of key staff of TsIB who "in fact, supervises all Internet and business in the country".

This person, in my opinion, in many respects informally defines policy of all industry of cyber security and Internet commerce — the old acquaintance of Mikhaylov, the founder of Chronopay payment system Pavel Vrublevsky noted.

On the page on Facebook Pavel Vrublevsky wrote that in due time Sergey Mikhaylov initiated against ChronoPay proceedings about DDoS attack on Aeroflot, and Ruslan Stoyanov then did examination on that case.^[1]

The press service of Kaspersky Lab confirmed arrest, however noticed that investigation is conducted against the individual who does not have relation to the company.^[2]
