@ 2017/03/02Treason charges against two Russian state security officers and a cyber-security expert are based on allegations made by a Russian businessman seven years ago.
The arrests concern allegations that the suspects passed secrets to US firm Verisign and other unidentified American companies, which in turn shared them with the US spooks.
Ruslan Stoyanov, head of the computer incidents investigation team at Russian cyber-security firm Kaspersky Lab, was arrested and charged with treason in December along with two officers of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Sergei Mikhailov and Dmitry Dokuchayev.
