Russian Convicted of $9 Million RBS WorldPay Hack Avoids Jail


A Russian hacker convicted of the $9 million hack of RBS WorldPay has avoided jail and has been given only a suspended sentence.

Yevgeny Anikin, 27, received a suspended sentence of five years on Monday, according to Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, after pleading guilty to what the U.S. has called “perhaps the most sophisticated and organized computer fraud attack ever conducted.”
