As John Carlin notes in his op-ed for the New York Times, Russia has become “the world’s largest safe haven for cybercriminals.” John, chair of Morrison & Foerster’s Global Risk + Crisis Management Group and former chief of staff to Robert Mueller, explains that while Mr. Mueller’s indictment of 12 Russian nationals accused of meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election may have dominated news headlines, Russian cybercrime — and the Russian government’s harboring of cybercriminals — is nothing new.
