Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Entrepreneurs could face up to 5 years in prison. The sellers’ websites have already “wound down” operations.

Baza reports that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has taken an interest in entrepreneurs who sell cheats.

Two projects are in the spotlight: “CyberTank/CyberShip” and “Hagz”.

They were targeted as early as last year. One site sold bots for World of Tanks, while the other offered standard cheat software (such as enhanced aiming tools).

A test purchase of the software was conducted, and it was classified as malicious.

It should be noted that the “unidentified creators” could face a criminal case (none has been initiated yet) under the article “Creation, use, and distribution of malicious computer programs”. The maximum penalty under it is five years of imprisonment.
