In 2000, Vasilli Gorschov and Alexey Ivanov were the first cyber crime business. Gorschov was the manager, Alexey was the hacker and they used a variety of online associates to convert the stolen data into cash or product. All of this was done from an apartment attached to a prison in Chelyabinsk, Russia.
How do I know this? I am intimately aware of these facts because I was an undercover FBI agent who bought the stolen information from hackers around the world. the stolen data could be linked back to online companies and then we would find the back doors that only the hackers would use.
