New: In early 2022, a mysterious leaker published a huge cache of information from inside the Russian cybercrime group Trickbot. For months, me and npub1jpjhesv3j86lc2hgkuvwpewhzefl8x4mlhz373t2dmgka7yg6zxsnzdkzf (npub1jpj…dkzf) have worked to uncover the real world identity of one of the gang's central members, putting a face to the anonymous activity.
Bentley, also known as Maksim Galochkin, is one of the top couple of members of Trickbot and is responsible for managing 21 people who make sure its ransomware works properly. He's a cryptocurrency enthusiast, hates working from home, and has a history of launching IT companies in Russia.
We also dive into the inner workings of the group and their links to the Russian state.
