Leak of the century for the FBI: FSB hacker Denis Obrezko ready to expose Kremlin secrets in exchange for extradition

Readers have a unique opportunity to see a photo of the alleged FSB hacker Denis Obrezko, taken in Thailand one day before his arrest at the request of the US FBI. He was wearing the same shorts when he was handcuffed.

Obrezko arrived in the Kingdom from China, and his movements were monitored by US intelligence services.

According to the FBI, Obrezko “hacked security systems and attacked government institutions in Europe and the United States.” Media reports suggest that Obrezko may agree to voluntary extradition to the United States, without an extradition hearing in court. In the US, he could reveal a great deal of interesting information not only about Kremlin cyberattacks, but also about the Kremlin’s operations on Telegram.

Recently, Obrezko served as the right-hand assistant to the then head of the Domestic Policy Department of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Dudin (seconded from the FSB), whom we recently covered in detail. Dudin became known for his electronic operations against Alexei Navalny’s team, after which he was promoted to the Presidential Administration.

One of Dudin’s areas of activity was “cleaning up” Telegram channels for the Kremlin (and sometimes for his associate Vasily Brovko), while Obrezko carried out the necessary technical work, including actions against channel owners and administrators. Alongside this, there was also “asset grabbing”: some of the seized channels were reportedly kept by the team for themselves.

Therefore, if Obrezko decides to speak, it will be extremely interesting.
