A Russian national was convicted for operating crypting services that helped other cyber criminals conduct illicit activities on thousands of computers around the world, federal authorities said.

His services were used to hide “Kelihos” malware from different antivirus software, which allowed hackers to invade the computers of their victims with malware and ransomware.
