Kommersant: Another deputy head of the FSB QIB became a defendant in a criminal case

A criminal case has been instituted against another deputy head of the FSB information security center. According to Kommersant, Dmitry Khraikov, who headed the unit engaged in examinations in the investigation of crimes in the field of high technology, is suspected of receiving a bribe.

“Claims for some act that he signed with a meager amount,” one of the interlocutors of the publication explained. At the Center for Public Relations, QIB and the FSB’s own security management did not respond to requests. He refused the comment and the Rules itself.

According to open data, he worked in the QIB since 2005, for several years, leading the qib information technology management. The published order of the FSB of 2002 states that UIT is a “leading expert unit”, which also provides access to information in computers, determines the purpose and functionality of software and computer devices, and also reveals actions performed with the computer and information in it.

Dmitry Khraikov is a “legend in the field of information security”, one of the sources on the IT market noted. According to him, Rules - the author of articles and books on which many studied - was a non -public person in recent years. Rights Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Information Protection of Information MSTU named after N.E. Bauman and author of several dozen scientific papers in the field of information security.

One of the interlocutors of the publication claims that the investigation against Dmitry Kraikov followed the conflict with the leadership. In October-November 2016, Ruikov "was going to quit and move to the" Eight "(the Center for the Protection of Information and Special Communications of the FSB.-Ed.), Because of which he had a direct conflict with the authorities," the source said. According to him, the plans for the transition of Rukov to Ji coincided with the reorganization, during which they intended to transfer UIT from the QIB to Ji.

Another interlocutor claims that due to the intersection of the functions of the QIB and Ji, they often compete, and the reorganization gave rise to rumors about the complete abolition of the QIB and the transfer of its functions to Ji, although "such a development of events is unlikely."

Previously, it became known that the colleague of Khurakov is another head of the FSB QIB Sergey Mikhailov, sent in a pre -trial detention center in the case of the transfer of secret information in the United States, refused the confession after the arrest.

How many defendants in the case were still not definitely informed by the media. The names of the three arrested are known. Two of them are FSB officers: Mikhailov and senior operative of the 2nd Operational Department of the QIB (and according to other sources, deputy Mikhailov) Dmitry Dokuchaev, a former hacker forb. The third is the head of the Kaspersky laboratory department to investigate the cybercriminals Ruslan Stoyanov.

Mikhailov and Dokuchaev was arrested in December. When it was in the pre -trial detention center that other defendants fell, was not specified.

All the arrested was charged under Article 275 of the Criminal Code (state treason), which provides for 12 to 20 years of the colony.

On February 1, the press secretary of Vladimir Putin DmitryPeskov rejected the assumption that the CIB FSB case was instituted in connection with the transfer of information about Russian hacker attacks to the electoral system of this country in the United States. “In any case, no matters of this kind can have relations with such ridiculous insinuations, because, as we have already said, we categorically deny any statements about the possible involvement of the Russian side in any hacker attacks,” the official said.
