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.

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.
