After an unprecedented year of highly damaging cyber attacks against companies, institutions and even hospitals, an international push is underway against hackers.聽 Cyber gangs are starting to see their empires collapse as their websites and systems are being taken out and operatives arrested in multiple countries. But one place where arrests aren鈥檛 happening is Russia.聽 The country has, so far, dismissed accusations of harbouring some of the worst cyber criminals.

The 大象传媒's cyber reporter Joe Tidy travelled to Russia to try to find the world鈥檚 most wanted hackers who are living millionaire lifestyles with no chance of ever being arrested. He describes what he discovered when he went on the trail of Russia's cyber criminals.
