Meet Kristina Svechinskaya, the hot Russian hacker (allegedly). She has
been dubbed the 'world's hottest female hacker' and allegedly hacked her way
into American bank accounts. This sexy Russian 22-year-old is alleged to be
part of the Eastern European ZBot cyber-criminal gang. She and nine others
recently appeared in court in New York accused of using hacking software to
skim millions from American bank accounts.
NEWS says
Called the ‘world’s sexiest computer hacker’, Kristina Svechinskaya was arrested in New York earlier this month, accused of being a part of an internet fraud ring alleged to have used malware and trojan viruses to steal $35 million from US bank accounts.
‘World’s sexiest computer hacker’ Kristina Svechinskaya to appear in court in connection with multi-million dollar internet fraud scam
With big blue eyes, long dark hair and a sultry expression, its hard to believe there is an internet debate on whether or not Kristina Svechinskaya is hot enough to be the next Anna Chapman. I'm sure you remember Anna Chapman, the sexy Russian spy that who over-shadowed her male co-conspirators when they were all arrested for espionage. Obviously because she was sexy, female and captured the imagination of the American public fixated on James Bond-esque Russian spy stereotypes of sultry, sexy, seductivefemale spies who James Bond always conquers in the end. They fit the bill.
There even Anna Fermanova, who turned out not to be a Russian spy, but had a momentary notoriety as one just because she fit the bill after Anna Chapman went back to Russia.
Now there is Kristina Svechinskaya. She may not be a 'spy' exactly, but she is an alleged sexy Russian hacker who is said to have appeared in a New York City court to face the charges against her in tears, as well as in skin-tight jeans and sexy calf-high boots. Maybe its all about image.
Svechinskaya may or may not be a hacker. It is more likely she is a 'mule' who helped to transport information rather than gather it.
Kristina Svechinskaya has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and one count of false use of passports. That's not how I would define hacking. Prosecutors claims that Svechinskaya was recruited to join a 'mule' organization that had numbered over two dozen participants and had contact with computer hackers and individuals who could provide fake passports.
Furthermore, she is alleged to have opened at least five bank accounts under her own name and under the aliases 'Anastasia Opokina' and 'Svetlana Makarova' into which $35,000 stolen from victims was fraudulently deposited.
There's nothing really there to suggest, even if she was proven guilty, that she's a hacker though
Oh, pheshaw! People would rather think she was THE hacker anda spy to boot. That's just sexier.
Kristina Svechinskaya, was charged along with 37 people for their part in an Eastern European-based bank-hacking scheme. The group is alleged to have used hacking software, the Zeus Trojan computer virus, to steal $3 million from American small businesses and individuals bank accounts.
So why would the internet have to debate whether Kristina Svechinskaya is sexy enough? Apparently, its her name that might be the problem. Its a mouthful.
