Russian National Sentenced to Nine Years for Hacking U.S. Corporate Databases

A Russian national found guilty of hacking into corporate earnings databases to steal and trade on nonpublic information about companies like Tesla and Roku was sentenced to nine years in prison. The sentence for Vladislav Klyushin, handed down by a federal judge in Boston, adds to the U.S. government’s roster of Russian nationals in its possession as U.S. officials seek potential bargaining chips in a negotiated prisoner swap with Moscow for Americans, including the detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
