Dunaev faces up to 60 years in prison.

According to the court's ruling, 38-year-old Dunaev, together with his accomplices, developed the Trickbot extortionist program. This program allowed to steal data from millions of computers of various companies around the world for ransom. Networks of schools, banks, municipal authorities and companies in the field of healthcare, energy and agriculture were also attacked.
The Russian was extradited at the request of the United States from South Korea to Ohio, where his trial is underway.

The crimes were committed between November 2015 and August 2020.
