By Eric Tucker The Associated Press WASHINGTON Two Russian intelligence agents and a pair of hired hackers have been charged in a devastat- ing criminal breach at Ya- hoo that affected at least a half billion user accounts, the Justice Department said Wednesday in bringing the first case of its kind against current Russian govern- ment officials. In a scheme that prose- cutors say blended intelli- gence gathering with old- fashioned financial greed, the four men targeted the email accounts of Russian and U.S. government offi- cials, Russian journalists and employees of finan- cial services and other pri- vate businesses, U.S. offi- cials said. Using in some cases a technique known as "spear- phishing" to dupe Yahoo us- ers into thinking they were receiving legitimate emails, the hackers broke into at least 500 million accounts in search of personal infor- mation and financial data such as gift card and credit card numbers, prosecutors said. "We will not allow in- dividuals, groups, nation states or a combination of them to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the economic interests of our companies or the security of our country," said Act- ing Assistant Attorney Gen- eral Mary McCord, the head of the Justice Department's national security division. One of the defendants, a Canadian and Kazakh na- tional named Karim Bara- tov, has been taken into custody in Canada. An- other, Alexsey Belan, is on the list of the FBI's most wanted cyber criminals and has been indicted mul- tiple times in the U.S. It's not clear whether he or the other two defendants, Dmi- try Dokuchaev and Igor Su- shchin, will ever step foot in an American courtroom since there's no extradition treaty with Russia. "I hope they will respect our criminal justice sys- tem," McCord said. The indictment identifies Dokuchaev and Sushchin as officers of the Russian Federal Security Service, or FSB. Belan and Bara- tov were paid hackers who were directed by the FSB to break into the accounts, prosecutors said. Dokuchaev has been in custody in Russia since his arrest on treason charges in December, along with his superior and several oth- ers. Russian media have re- ported that Dokuchaev and his superior were accused of passing sensitive infor- mation to the CIA. The me- dia reports also have con- tended that Dokuchaev was arrested by the FSB several years ago and of- fered a choice: serve a long prison sentence on hacking charges or sign a contract to work for the agency. The FSB hasn't com- mented. Yahoo didn't disclose the breach until last Septem- ber when it began notify- ing hundreds of millions of users that their email addresses, birth dates, an- swers to security questions and other personal infor- mation may have been sto- len. Three months later, Ya- hoo revealed it had uncov- ered a separate hack in 2013 affecting about 1 billion ac- counts, including some that were also hit in 2014. U.S. officials said it was especially galling that the scheme involved officers from a Russian counteres- pionage service that theo- retically should be working collaboratively with its FBI counterparts. "Rather than do that type of work, they actually turned against that type of work," McCord said. Paul Abbate, an FBI ex- ecutive assistant director, said the bureau had had only "limited cooperation with that element of the Russian government in the past," noting that prior U.S. demands to turn over Belan had been ignored. Though the Justice De- partment has previously charged Russian hackers with cybercrime — as well as hackers sponsored by the Chinese and Iranian gov- ernments — this is the first criminal case to implicate the Russian government so directly in cybercrime and to name as defendants sit- ting members of the FSB for hacking charges. CRIMINAL BREACH Ru ss ia n ag en ts , ha ck er s cha rg ed i n Ya ho o br ea ch By Kristin J. Bender The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO U.S. rock climbing icon Royal Rob- bins, who founded the out- door clothing company bearing his name, has died after a long illness, the com- pany's chief executive officer said Wednesday. He was 82. Company CEO Michael Millenacker said Robbins died Tuesday at his home in Modesto, California sur- rounded by his family. "Royal was a legendary pioneer who approached ev- erything in life with a true spirit of adventure. He gave me my first break in the out- door industry and set me on the path to meld a pas- sion for the outdoors with a career," Millenacker said. "He taught me to work with purposethat the harder we worked, the more we could give back." Robbins was part of the Golden Age of Yosemite, a post-WWII time from roughly 1955 to 1970, when a vagabond group of climb- ers lived in Yosemite and de- voted their lives to climbing. They claimed a number of first ascents that were once deemed impossible like El Capitan and Half Dome. He was also a major pro- moter of clean climbing techniques and equipment to avoid rock damage. "I think that he set the rules for the game of climb- ing and he believed in the rules of the game. The lives of those of us who climbed were enriched by Royal's in- sistence on getting the rules right," said Daniel Duane, who has written three books about climbing, in- cluding one on Robbins. "If it hadn't been for Royal, all those cliffs would be a total mess." American rock climber Alex Honnold posted a mes- sage about Robbins' death on Twitter. "Sad to hear about the passing of Royal Robbins. He was a big inspi- ration to me personally with his emphasis on adventure and his clean, simple climb- ing style. What a legend. He lived with grace all the way through a long and full life. Something we can all as- pire to." In 1967, Robbins and his wife, Liz made the first as- cent of the Nutcracker route in the Yosemite Valley us- ing only removable gear for protection. It was the first climb of its kind in the United States. Afterward, Robbins published a semi- nal article in Summit mag- azine where he advocated using removable protection rather than damaging pi- tons into the granite cracks. His advocacy of clean climb- ing influenced generations of climbers since. It was the first climb of its kind in the U.S. and helped fuel the clean climbing movement. Also that year, he and his wife climbed Half Dome on the 10th anniversary of his first ascent, making her the first woman to climb the famous formation and the first in the world to climb an aid route of that difficulty. His first ascents include El Capitan's Salathe Wall and North American Wall and Chamonix's American Di- rect on the Dru. Royal Robbins climbed well into his 70s, friends said. He was known for his ad- venture kayaking. He was also a prolific writer. His instruction man- uals "Rockcraft" and "Ad- vanced Rockcraft" provided climbers with the only man- ual available to learn climb- ing ethics that respected the rock. His three-part autobi- ographical series, "My Life: Royal Robbins", details his journey from rebellious youth in Los Angeles to Yo- semite's Camp 4. In 1968, the couple founded Royal Robbins, an active lifestyle apparel com- pany for climbers, adventur- ers and travelers. Millenacker said his lead- ership style was unique and uncannily effective. On his first climb, Robbins began climbing and left him with a harness and the end of a rope. "As with all outdoor and business pursuits, he led by bold examples," Millenacker said. "He also knew how to harness the power of perse- verance and courage to in- fluence so many lives — in- cluding mine. With tremen- dous class and a huge heart, he taught me so many the valuable lessons about con- viction and grit. Every time I saw him walk into a room, you could feel a shift, as if everyone knew they were in the presence of greatness. Many like me, will always be inspired and guided by his leadership."
