In Bonn, the trial of 42-year-old Sergei Maksimov began. It is believed that it is he who is hiding under the pseudonym Hacker Hall, the correspondent of Open Russia Semyon Krudny reports on Twitter.
Maksimov was charged with hacking the leader of the Party of Progress Alexei Navalny, hacking the account of a German citizen of Russian origin Igor Petrov and the removal of unnamed information. Maksimova defends one of the most expensive lawyers in Bonn. The defendant refused to communicate with the press.
Maksimov himself denies that he and Haker Hall are one face. At the trial, the German Internet provider confirmed that hacker Hell's hacks were made with IP address Maximov.
Navalny, whom the court called as a witness, will not be able to participate in the process. The FMS refused him to issue a passport, referring to the conditional time of the politician. On Tuesday, Navalny said that he would dispute the decision of the FMS.
On June 18, Navalny said that a criminal case was opened in Germany against a person known as Hacker Hall . According to Navalny, he and his associates gathered all the available material about Hell's personality. It was confirmed that he acted from the territory of Germany. In the fall of 2012, the collected material was sent to the German prosecutor's office.
On the night of June 26, 2012 , the post office and Twitter Navalny were hacked . Navalny then wrote on his blog: "I hacked the e -mail and through it twitter. It is obvious that through computers/iPads seized during the search. Such is the Investigative Committee." The “Haker Hall”, which in November 2011, already published the correspondence of Navalny in November 2011.
In December 2011, hackers hacked the LJ of the writer Boris Akunin (Grigory Chkhartishvili) and his mailbox on Gmail. All notes disappeared from the Borisakunin user's diary. The hackers left the inscription "Zasim I dedicated the Pacific Gregorore Mudoshvil into the revolutionaries." This inscription on style coincides with other messages "Hell".
Hall took responsibility for hacking e -mail of a number of Russian opposition, in particular, Andrei Malgin, Valeria Novodvorskaya, Vladimir Prelilovsky, Lilia Shibanova. At the same time, the hacker claimed that he was not associated with any structures and acts exclusively of "ideological considerations."
