Kristina Svechinskaya - who has been dubbed the "world's hottest female
hacker" - recently appeared in a NYC courtroom to face charges of stealing
$35,000 for the notorious Eastern European ZBot cyber-criminal gang.
According to the *NY
Observer
the crying Svechinskaya approached the bench wearing skin-tight jeans and
slinky, calf-high boots.
Sexy, eh? Definitely!
Still, as Sophos
senior security
researcher Graham
Cluley notes, the jury is still out on whether or not the fetching
Svechinskaya is actually a bona fide hacker.
"Kristina has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud
and one count of false use of passports. [Yet], that's not how I would
define hacking," opined Cluley.
"[Yes], prosecutors claims that Svechinskaya was recruited to join a 'mule'
organzation that had numbered over two dozen participants and had contact
with computer hackers and individuals who could provide fake passports.
"[Nevertheless], there's nothing really there to suggest, even if she was
proven guilty, that she's a hacker."
Fair enough.
But that isn't really the point of Kristina Svechinskaya or her photos, is
it?
