The Kirov Regional Department of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has filed criminal proceedings for "elaboration, use and distribution of damaging computer programs" for the first time in history, a representative of the FSB Public Relations Center told RBC. An Information Department technician of a private company of the Kirov city was accused of committing this crime. He loaded a program that "deliberately disrupts the work of the PC and the local network" on his computer in the office. He also placed this program on his company's server. As a result, using this program, all visitors to the server could break the PC protection and use data without the approval of owners of the information.
