The Ukrainian Robin Hood is stealing from Russian cybercriminals!
posted 23 Dec 2022
Alex Holden, a hacker from Ukraine, has a singular gift for tracking down "bad russian guys" on the Internet. This week, he stole $25,000 in BTC from the russian dark web marketplace dubbed Solaris, and transferred the money to Kyiv charitable foundation "Enjoying Life".
The charity's co-founder, Tina Mikhailivska, confirmed receipt of the funds and said that all contributions would go to the elderly and internally displaced people that suffered from russian aggression.
During the Solaris hack, Holden drained a large user base from the website. He believes it will help him get on the trail of other cybercriminals, who will also support Ukraine with their money.
In his interview with Forbes, Holden stated:
Maybe russians without their drugs would take a sober look at their country and do something. Maybe the kremlin won’t defend their country’s drug trade and fix the drug problems instead of invading Ukraine.
What else can we add? Alex, fuck'em up. And we'll help you.
