OSMP Grabber author goes to trial

    Prosecutor General's Office approved the indictment and submitted to the court a criminal case against Maxim Glotov, who is accused of fraud, unauthorized access to computer information, creation and dissemination of computer viruses and forgery.

    Maxim is considered the author of the OSMP Grabber program . It is installed on the computers of private entrepreneurs - owners of OSMP terminals, and sends the details (terminal number, username, password) of the agent account in the OSMP payment system to the attacker.

    In recent years, the program has become widely known, "baths" with money were sold on forums at a discount of up to 80%. Their emptying was carried out even with the help of spammer mailings like “top up your mobile phone account for 50%” with the withdrawal of WM via anonymous wallets.

    They say that thanks to OSMP Grabber, a scheme for filling in money has become possible not through traditional drops, but through legal entities. Apparently, OSMP terminals were used as a buffer in the scheme of cashing money from other people's bank cards.

    On the website of the Prosecutor General’s Office, it is reported that in the same criminal case with Glotov, one Andriyan Stepanov will be tried, who helped in the cashing. In addition, “in the framework of this criminal case, another member of the criminal group was charged. Due to the fact that a pre-trial agreement was concluded with him, he has already been sentenced to 2.5 years in prison ”(here everything is clear without comment).

    In this criminal scheme, another moment seems unusual. Private IB Group helped catch fraudsters, writesthe newspaper "Vedomosti". The newspaper does not say who specifically paid for the services of the company, but the fact of their participation is confirmed. Stepanov and Glotov “caught the theft of 10 million rubles. from accounts of 41 agents of OSMP and E-port electronic payment systems (now Qiwi system) in 2007-2009. ” Record "bath", according to the criminal case, was merged from an entrepreneur from the city of Vladimir in the amount of 1.8 million rubles. Maybe it was he who hired the detectives from Group IB.

    The Group IB firm was lit up on Habr only once when announced tariffsfrom underground forums, having described in detail the types of services and prices for DDoS attacks of various quality, “flooding” money from remote banking services (remote banking services), selling downloads in different regions of the world, buying traffic, black SEO, etc. Obviously, this company has informants in the world of the criminal “underground”, so that it can even reveal crimes that are inaccessible to the understanding of federal services. They act as experts during various incidents related to DDoS attacks, theft of money in electronic payment systems. The company provides its clients with a number of services: computer forensics, incident investigation, search for customers of DDoS attacks.

    In an interview with the Vedomosti newspaper, Group IB CEO said that there are six successful criminal groups in Russia that specialize in fraud in RB systems, and each steal about $ 150 million a year, so the lawsuit against Glotov due to damage of 10 million rubles . can be called a "trifle".

    The hearing in the case of Maxim Glotov will be held in the Zheleznodorozhny District Court of the city of Yekaterinburg (case No. 1-742 / 2011 ).
