OREANDA-NEWS  For the first time, a merchant from the shadow data market has been revealed in St. Petersburg. This is reported by the Telegram channel "Mash at the Sink".

According to the channel, this case is unique because it was previously reported that the owners of similar Telegram bots and the journalists who used them had been detained.

The defendant is 28 years old. He was detained in the Hills. The man received information about people through Telegram bots and transferred this information to third parties for money. During the search, the police found more than 650 grams of drugs in his possession, already packaged in about 800 sachets for future bookmarks.

Two criminal cases have been initiated against him — under articles on the illegal trafficking of computer information containing personal data and on the attempted sale of drugs on an especially large scale.

Earlier it was reported that in the Chelyabinsk region, law enforcement officers detained three members of an organized criminal group (OCG) of hackers.
