And that transition will happen for many overnight. We will keep some showers going across northern and eastern parts of the British Isles. One or two drifting through the irish sea. In between with these skies clear and there isnt so much of a noticeably north wind will end up with A Touch Of Frost. So its a chilly, bright, really sunny start to the day provided youre not picking up on all of the showers across the eastern side of the British Isles with the odd one again coming through the irish sea. In between theres a lot of sunshine but it really wont do anything for the temperatures. Single figures for many, a high of 10 or ii. Hello this is bbc news. The headlines.

The bbc� s Cyber Reporterjoe tidy travels to russia to track down alleged hackers. Around the world, cyber citadels are crumbling. Ukraine, romania, poland, kuwait, south korea, hackers are being rounded up. Online, too, western Intelligence Services are hacking back, taking criminals off line, and even retrieving some of the stolen riches. But theres one place where hackers are not being arrested. Cash rich, fast cars, behaving and acting like very flamboyant and extravagant millionaires. Im on the trail of the most wanted suspected hackers in the world. The us are alleged the gang are hacking money from private Bank Accounts and launching Ransomware Attacks which have cost more than 100 million. Hello, im looking for maksim. I am from the bbc. More russians have been sanctioned and indicted for hacking than any other country. 27 russians appear under the us cyber most wanted list. If they leave the country, they will probably be arrested. But here in russia, they are safe. Most of these men are said to have links to or work directly for the Intelligence Services. But there are some who are accused of being flat out cyber criminals. And instead of hiding here, they are leading large extravagant lifestyles. We are here to try and find them and talk to them. And we want to know whether this increasing western tactic of naming and shaming hackers is having an impact. Good morning. Thank you all for being here. We are here today to identify and announce charges against a Russian National whom the Department Ofjustice alleges is responsible for two of the worst Computer Hacking and Bank Fraud Schemes of the past decade. Yakubets is a true 21st century criminal who committed cyber crimes across the globe with a stroke of a key. He has and has place on the fbis list of the most wanted cybercriminals. With a 5 million bounty for his arrest, Maksim Yakubets is the most wanted alleged hacker in the world. Us and uk Authorities Say his hacker gang have stolen or extorted more than 5 million from victims around the world, companies, charities, even schools have been attacked. Bbc russias cyber reporter has been working with me for months to try to trace these alleged hackers. What have you learned about yakubets . We have two addresses, we know where he officially worked for some time, his mothers company. No registered businesses. He doesnt have any registered businesses . Yeah. Right, 0k. I wanted to show you something ifound. This is his wedding video. So this is the wedding venue. They got married at a golf course. Yeah, i see. So this was here. So all of that on the grass. The golf course where the wedding took place about two hours outside of moscow. Staff were happy to show us around, but did not want to go into specifics about yakubets big day. Wow, impressive. So this is where the newlyweds sit, have some champagne . Yeah. This wedding is probably the most famous wedding in the history of Cyber Security. People have pored over that video since it was posted online, and it feels strange being here, where it actually took place. A lot of people, including newspapers, said the wedding cost about 250,000. But i have just discovered it could have cost at least half 1 million, and that is just to have it here. We dont know how the wedding was paid for, but if the money did come from yakubets, it gives us an insight into how some of his alleged stolen riches are being spent. With e mails and phone calls unanswered, it was time to try the moscow addresses he is registered to. 0h, here it is. Here we go. Buzzer rings. Hello, is Maksim Yakubets there . As soon as i said Maksim Yakubets, he hung up. Hello, i am looking for Maksim Yakubets. Im from the bbc. Maksims father tells us that the 5 million us reward for his sons arrest has led them to live in fearfrom criminals looking to cash in. How do you think your son has become so rich . How did he afford a 600,000 wedding . No, it is too much. 0k. So youre telling me that your son is not a criminal, and he is not rich . What is his line of work . Phone rings. Is that maksim . No, mama. You seem very upset by the accusations of the uk and the us. We asked if we could speak to maksim, but his father claims he has no contact with him. How was that . Wow. Maksim yakubets and his accomplice have spent the last decade infecting computers worldwide. The us and the uk to have Strong Enough evidence to convict yakubets. It includes direct testimony from former gang members, and Even Communications from yakubets personal e mail and skype account. Their cases date back so far, it includes evidence obtained by the Russian Police in 2010 when there were still open to helping the us investigate. The 2019 investigation named other men also associated with evil corp. They are banned from Doing Business with Western Firms and have any Company Assets frozen. The us has sanctioned dozens of russians, nearly all of whom are accused of working directly for the kremlin. And it is notjust the us. Last year, the European Union started to issue its first cyber sanctions. Once again, it is mostly russians. The kremlin calls the allegations a diabolical cocktail and rich fantasy. For everyday russians, the sanctions are so regular now that they are largely ignored. But for Cyber Security professionals in russia, they provoke anger. Alexandra is a professional ethical hacker, or white hat. When she is not at her computer, her second love is motorbikes. Like many hackers i have met, alexandra says she first got into it by playing games. Everybody. They are all coming . Now is our time to attack. How do you feel about the stereotype of the russian hacker . The highly anticipated summit between us President Joe Biden and his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is getting under way in geneva. Cyber crime was a major Talking Point at biden and putins geneva summit. Present biden brought up the recent Ransomware Attack on an oil pipeline that caused Fuel Shortages in the us. Responsible countries need to take action against criminals who conduct ransomware activities on their territory. The talks have yet to bear significant fruit. I spoke to an investigative reporterfor an independent russian news site. He was recruited. How did you know that . We know that from the documents of the us government. Maksim yakubets and both of those guys from evil corp Hacking Group were announced like enemies of the state. One of my sources, and ex fsb officer, told me that he personally tried to enlist yakubets. It is actually usual practice in russia. It is easier for the fsb to enlist hackers in russia than to put them in jail. The lifestyle of yakubets alleged Right Hand Man is another sign that russia is unwilling to act on these accusations. He is a close associate of yakubets, and serves as the system administrator. We found businesses run by him in a prestigious building in moscows financial district. So this is where three businesses are registered. The building receptionist said there are no active phone lines but found a mobile number for igor turashev� s company. After a long wait, somebody picked up. Hello, i am looking to find igor turashev. That was interesting, that was actually somebody who works with turashev. Yeah. I find it amazing that he is here. This is where lots of legitimate businesses. They have offices here, but they have a very good cars, good life in moscow. They are not hiding at all. We travel 700 kilometres east to turashev� s childhood town to track him down. Local reporter dmitry covered the story when turashev was accused of being a Major International cybercriminal. Despite being a seemingly legitimate businessmen, then, turashev was proving elusive. We deliberately did not try to Contact People facing sanctions who are thought to work for the russian Intelligence Services. All nations hack each other, but some allegations against russian State Hackers are extreme, from electricity black outs to City Blackouts to attacks causing billions of dollars of damage globally. The russian government has denied all accusations, routinely laughing them off as western hysteria and russophobia. For some of them, being sanctioned is like a reward. A badge of honour . Yes, a badge of honour. Even if they have been caught . Well, caught in what . For them, it is intelligence gathering against the enemy of the russian state. And it is notjust individuals who are being accused of hacking for the russian state. Entire institutions and even private companies have been sanctioned, too. Denis is the new ceo of positive technologies. He said he was just as shocked as the rest of the cybersecurity world when President Biden accused his well respected company of hacking for russia in april. The sanctions forced him to postpone a long awaited ipo. It has also cut the company off from access to many western partnerships and technology. Is this a punchbag . Yes. Did you come and punch this on the day of the sanctions . No, i didnt, because it is not my way of working out stress. The wording of the accusation is that positive technologies has worked to support the russian Intelligence Services efforts to carry out malicious intelligence and Cyber Attacks against the us. Is that something you have done . By double purposes, do you mean you do not allow your products to be used inoffensive ways . The Biden Administration has also criticised the companys annual hacking conference, where hackers are invited to attack a mock city. The us claims that the event is being used as a Recruitment Tool for the russian Intelligence Services. Is that an atm . Yes, we take this atm, put it in the conference and ask the community, there is some money inside it, so come and get it. And do some of them manage to get the money . Yes, every year. There are a lot of people came along to your days, and the accusation is that they were here to recruit for the military. Is that true . Will they be invited again next year or will you start to vet people who come . Alexandra has competed herself and many positive hack days. She says they are a normal and enjoyable conference. Positive technologies is not the first Russian Cybersecurity Company to be accused of getting too close to the kremlin, and whilst we were in moscow, a Breaking News Event showed what can happen if a Russian Cybersecurity Firm gets on the wrong side the kremlin. The founder of group ib was arrested for treason. He faces up to 20 years in prison. We are going to go there now and see what we can find out. Police raided the offices of group ib overnight. Officers even broke into one room to apparently Access Company servers. Looks like a complete mirror image of what has happened to positive technologies. They are being accused by the west of working for the russian government and hacking, and now it seems like group ib are being accused by the russian government of working for the west. It is very hard to be a Cyber Security company in this country. Group ib says it is innocent and there are few details about what ilya sachkov is accused of. Many have spoken to a speech their outspoken founder made which publicly criticised russian authorities for not arresting alleged cyber criminals like yakubets. Before i left russia, we tried one last address, an apartment in a luxury part of town. Buzzer rings. A neighbour recognised a picture of turashev, but he was not interested in talking if he was there. I think we have got as close to these people as we can. They know we are here, but they do not want to talk to us. It has been a strange process, almost uncomfortable and intrusive. We have been going to their houses, their businesses, but i have to remind myself that this is what they have been doing, allegedly, for years they have been breaking in the private networks and computers of companies and individuals, and that is how they have allegedly made their fortunes. Hello. Its not been a bad start to the weekend. Quite a lot of cloud across england and wales although having said that, there were some decent gaps. Particularly in the mid part of the day across the north of england and into north wales but further south it was quite a lot of cloud around. At times there was a sport of rain from this. The cloud was at its thickest, not unusually, the close to a Weather Front which started today across northern ireland. And has made some progress down across the British Isles. Behind it the showers have ganged up as this feature swung into the north of scotland. Isobars are tightly packed and they are turning towards the norwegian sea. And its down along those isobars the cold air will propagate ever further south. Such that sunday will be a much colder and fresher day than anything weve experienced over the past few days. That process starts tonight, once the Weather Front is a way the showers and there will be plenty of them get into the north and east of scotland into the northeast of england. One or two further west. In between those shower belts these guys are going to clear. And i think we will end up with A Touch Of Frost anywhere really in the heart of scotland maybe into the Heart Of England as well. So we are off to for some a frosty start on sunday. Plenty of sunshine around provided youre not getting bombarded with the showers rattling in on this cold northerly wind. So a bit of winter is across the north what was there perhaps the best of the temperatures i can find for you and its only the favoured few that get into double figures in the southwest having had that shock to your system on sunday, we cut off the supply of the nor the lease at least on monday with a High Pressure beginning to nose in from the atlantic and just those isobars bending back towards a west or northwesterly. And the wind not as strong. So it looks as though its going to be a quieter, calmer sort of day. The best of the sunshine southern scotland, parts of northern ireland, certainly across a good part of england and wales. A lot of dry weather around but despite the presence of the sunshine we are really struggling to get those temperatures up to the sort of values that we may well of enjoyed in recent days. Having set that scene of cooler weather both by day and by night thats the way we keep it coming. A lot of dry weather around as well. But it really will be much cooler than of late.
