Alexsey Belan is one of the most wanted hackers in the world and "adorns" the FBI's Most Wanted.
Russian national Alexsey Belan, between January 2012 and April 2013, had infiltrated the information networks of three major e-commerce systems in the U.S., specifically in the states of Nevada and California. His goal was to intercept a large amount of citizen information, which according to FBI announcements he succeeded in doing.
Alexsey uses the nicknames: Aleksei Belan, Aleksey Belan, Aleksey, Alexseyevich Belan, Aleksey Alekseyevich Belan, Alexsei Belan, Abyr Valgov, “Abyrvaig”, “Fedyunya”, “Magg”, “M4G”, “Moy.Yawik”.
Specifically, Alexsey Belan stole databases with the personal information and data of millions of American citizens, as well as their encrypted passwords.
He then attempted to promote the relevant databases for sale via the Internet (Darknet) in exchange for an extremely high amount. It is not known whether he succeeded in selling the relevant database.
Verified information indicates that the hacker targeted Covered California ™ and Nevada’s Silver State Health Insurance Exchange, from where he stole Americans’ information.
Both companies are directly tied to the Obamacare social security and are described as “e-commerce insurance marketplaces.”
Alexsey or “M4G” has Russian citizenship and a Russian passport. Two international arrest warrants have been issued for the Russian hacker by the states of Nevada and California. In Las Vegas, Alexsey Belan is charged with illegal acquisition of information and possession of 15 unauthorized devices for accessing corporate networks. In San Francisco, Belan is charged with 2 frauds related to a massive leak of personal data and information.
It is worth noting that Alexsey Belan was last spotted in our country, specifically in Athens! He had previously been spotted in Russia, Lithuania, the Maldives and Thailand. He wears glasses and usually dyes his brown hair red or blonde to make him more difficult to spot.
The reward offered by the FBI for information leading to his arrest is close to $100,000. According to information that reached SecNews from a reliable source, simultaneously with the investigations of the Greek law enforcement authorities, 6 Greekcybercrime investigators have engaged in a “digital stalking” of the Russian national on well-known forums that he frequented and on the Darknet with the aim of locating him and providing information in return for the reward.
