One of the most high -profile hacker stories of the last few years seems to have come to an end. The FSB officers detained Vladimir Anikeev, whom they consider the organizer of the Shaltai-Boltai group (another name “Anonymous International”). Hackers became known in early 2014 after the publication of the correspondence of several high -ranking officials and a number of documents for official use. Over time, the participants of the Shaltai-Boltai put the contents of the contents of the mailboxes of officials on the stream and created the exchange, starting to sell information and earn tens of thousands of dollars on this.

In addition to Anikeev, in the case two FSB officers working in the combined crime department, as well as an employee of the Kaspersky Laboratory, who headed a similar department in the company. All three are accused of Gosizman. About other members of the group located in different countries is still unknown.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
