A top cyber-security specialist in Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has been arrested on charges of treason, the Kommersant newspaper reported Wednesday.
Sergei Mikhailov, deputy chief at the FSB’s Information Security Center (CDC), stands accused of receiving money from “foreign organizations,” Kommersant reported, citing unnamed FSB sources.
Mikhailov has been detained in pre-trial detention since December 2016, alongside Ruslan Stoyanov, the head of cyber-crime investigations at Russia’s Kaspersky Labs.
