Estonian Man Pleads Guilty to Role in DNSChanger Botnet Scheme

An Estonian national believed to be the mastermind behind a massive cyber fraud operation shut down by law enforcement authorities in 2011 has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and hacking charges.

Vladimir Tsastsin, 35, has admitted taking part in an Estonia-based cybercrime scheme in which 4 million computers in over 100 countries were infected with malware. The individuals involved in the scheme are said to have made $14 million over a period of several years through clickjacking and ad fraud.
