"Russian Cyber Security Executive Sentenced to 14 Years for Treason"

Ilya Sachkov, the founder of cybersecurity firm Group-IB, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison by a Russian court on charges of treason. Sachkov, who denies any wrongdoing, was accused of passing classified information to foreign spies. His arrest in 2021 came after he criticized Russian authorities in a speech for allowing a prominent criminal hacker to operate freely. Former colleagues and supporters are planning to appeal the verdict and seek intervention from President Vladimir Putin. Sachkov's conviction is the latest in a series of treason charges against individuals in Russia in recent years.
