I searched, but didnt find this so I am posting it. This is about the second Yahoo email breach, apparently orchestrated by FSB. The Canadian hacker is originally from Kazajstán. FBI has him in custody already but he is probbably the only guy that is going to be tried since the other hacker is in Russia and the remaining two are FSB.

This guy was hired to hack into fourty or so specific person's other accounts, using the info obtained from the yahoo hack.
