According to Valeri Korznikov, Deputy Chief of the Department K (unit fighting high tech crimes) in Udmurt Republic, hackers expanded heavy activities so that the topic of counteraction to computer crimes reached even the government.
More than 400 cases of unauthorized intrusion into someone else's computers were registered only for the last year in Udmurtia. Special devices equipped by Department K allow to reveal hackers but only on condition that the victim appealed to police himself. Korznikov gave a striking example of the year: a hacker of Izhevsk managed to hack 183 times into someone else's computers before he was arrested.
