Putin Claims The CIA Hacked The Kremlin -- But Did It?

Russia’s mass media has dropped Putin’s bombshell that four high-ranked Russian cyber-security FSB officers are being held in a Moscow prison–the Lefortovo Four--facing the same treason charges ("Betrayal of Fatherland") under which Stalin executed his political victims. They are Colonel Sergei Mikhail, deputy director of the FSB’s Office for Information Security; Ruslan Stoyanov, the head of cybercrime investigations at Kaspersky Labs (a private cyber security firm); and master-hacker Major Dmitry Dokuchaev, who also worked in the Office of Information security and likely for Kaspersky Labs as well. The name of the fourth treason suspect is still unknown. Their lawyers refuse to give the names of their clients.

Nobody would arrest intelligence officer from their own country with media outlet without concrete proof that the charges would be valid. It is always done internally without media or public knowlege. Treason charges are in these case a message to other countries.
