One of the FBI’s most wanted hackers is trolling the U.S. government

  • Russian hacker Mikhail Matveev, also known as “Wazawaka” and “Boriselcin,” is one of the FBI’s most wanted hackers.

  • He has been indicted by the U.S. government for being a prolific ransomware affiliate and carrying out significant attacks against companies and critical infrastructure.

  • Matveev is accused of being a central figure in the development and deployment of ransomware variants like Hive, LockBit, and Babuk.

  • Despite being on the FBI’s most wanted list, Matveev continues to taunt the government by making a T-shirt with his own most wanted poster and engaging in online activities.

  • The FBI believes Matveev remains in Russia and is unlikely to face extradition to the United States.
