A jailed hacking kingpin reveals all about the gang that left a trail of destruction

A jailed hacking kingpin has given an insider’s view of the gang that left a trail of destruction, according to DataBreaches[.]Net. The article presents Vyacheslav Penchukov, who goes by “Tank” and is described as a 39-year-old Ukrainian, detailing how he rose to the top of the cyber-underworld not so much through technical wizardry as through criminal charm.

It quotes an interview where Penchukov says he is a “friendly guy” who makes friends easily, a character trait he attributes to his persona rather than his methods. Joe Tidy reports on the meeting and notes how the former kingpin appears in the prison visit with a wide grin and a wink. The piece also directs readers to BBC News for the full read, indicating that the broader coverage is sourced from that outlet.
