The FBI puts up bounties for several “cyber fugitives”

The FBI has put up several bounties, some going all the way up to $100,000, for wanted “cyber fugitives”.

Almost exactly two years ago, the United States government indicted seven alleged Estonian and Russian hackers for hijacking over four million computers worldwide using a botnet trojan—many at government agencies and large companies. The government accused the group of making over $14 million from traffic they drove to legitimate advertisers through contracts for paid traffic.
