Exotic cars, Russian agents, meth-spiked jailhouse coffee and working for Canada’s spy agency. The confessions of Ancaster ‘hacker for hire’ Karim Baratov

Summary by Ground News

Karim Baratov was arrested at his Ancaster home in March 2017. After six months in Barton Street jail, he was extradited to the U.S. and sentenced in 2018 in San Francisco to five years in prison and fined $250,000 (U.S.) for his part in a computer fraud and identity theft operation. That scheme led to a security breach at Yahoo in which thousands of webmail accounts were compromised. He was released from prison in the summer of 2021.
