A 36-year-old Russian man recently identified by KrebsOnSecurity as the likely proprietor of the massive RSOCKS botnet has been arrested in Bulgaria at the request of U.S. authorities. At a court hearing in Bulgaria this month, the accused hacker requested and was granted extradition to the United States, reportedly telling the judge, “America is looking for me because I have enormous information and they need it.”
 


This looks familiar. I could have sworn they already arrested him. Like, years ago...

comments range from :
He just doesn’t want to be conscripted for the war in Ukraine. Pretty much why he wants to be extradited. Work a deal out and hopefully he doesn’t get sent back to Russia before the war is over

to

Conscription age range in Russia 16 to 76. Yes, he would fit right in

and

Truth serum, then locked up for life with no internet.
 
LOL @ comments

And, I am probably thinking of the earlier action taken with a warrant and whatnot.
