Evil Corp is accused of being 鈥渢he most pervasive cybercrime group to ever have operated鈥� by law enforcement agencies and said to have stolen hundreds of millions of dollars. No one is off limits when it comes to their targets 鈥� not even a group of nuns in Chicago. The man alleged to be at the centre of it all is Maksim Yakubets - one of the FBI鈥檚 most wanted - who famously drove a neon Lamborghini with a Russian license plate that translated as "thief鈥�. So how does a man hunted by the world鈥檚 top law enforcement for nearly two decades not only stay free, but grow his empire? The US and UK governments claim the group has forged links with the Russian security services and are behind Kremlin-backed attacks on the West. The US, UK and Australia have imposed sanctions against 16 people who they accuse of being members of Evil Corp 鈥� many of them from Maksim Yakubets鈥檚 own family, including his father.
