Rusia mengaku bersalah atas upaya peretasan dan pemerasan Tesla

March 20, 2021 by Winnie the Pooh

Warga negara Rusia Egor Igorevich Kriuchkov telah mengaku bersalah merekrut karyawan Tesla untuk menanam malware yang dirancang untuk mencuri data dalam jaringan Nevada Gigafactory Tesla.

Tujuan akhirnya adalah memeras perusahaan menggunakan informasi sensitif yang dicuri dari server Tesla sebagai pengaruh untuk meyakinkan perusahaan agar membayar uang tebusan untuk menghindari kebocoran data.

Untuk meyakinkan karyawan perusahaan agar bertindak sebagai orang dalam bagi geng kriminalnya, Kriuchkov mengatakan kepadanya bahwa dia akan dibayar $ 1.000.000 bitcoin setelah malware tersebut disebarkan di jaringan perusahaan, menurut dokumen pengadilan.

Kriuchkov juga mengatakan kepada karyawan Tesla bahwa dia sebelumnya terlibat dalam “proyek” serupa lainnya di mana salah satu perusahaan korban membayar $ 4 juta setelah merundingkan uang tebusan dari $ 6 juta.

Kriuchkov menjelaskan bahwa “‘kelompok’ tersebut telah melakukan ‘proyek khusus’ ini dengan sukses dalam beberapa kesempatan, dan mengidentifikasi beberapa perusahaan yang menjadi sasaran,” menurut dakwaan.

Karyawan Tesla juga diberitahu bahwa selama “proyek khusus” mereka menargetkan jaringan Tesla, para penjahat akan meluncurkan serangan Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) untuk mengalihkan perhatian dari upaya orang dalam untuk menyebarkan malware.

CEO Tesla, Elon Musk, kemudian mengonfirmasi dalam balasan Twitter bahwa Kriuchkov memang mencoba merekrut karyawan Tesla untuk membantu skema pemerasannya.

Terdakwa ditangkap pada Agustus 2020 setelah menerima panggilan telepon dari agen FBI dan bergegas meninggalkan AS untuk menghindar.

Dia didakwa satu bulan kemudian dan didakwa dengan tuduhan konspirasi yang sengaja menyebabkan kerusakan pada komputer yang dilindungi, menghadapi hukuman maksimum lima tahun penjara dan denda $ 250.000.
