Two Russian cybercriminals, Roman Seleznev and Vladislav Klushin, were released by the US in a prisoner swap that also freed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former US Marine Paul Whelan. Seleznev was serving a 27-year sentence for running the Carter.su carting forum, while Klushin was serving a nine-year sentence for insider trading using hacked data. The swap involved 24 individuals held in seven countries and also included the release of several Russian opposition figures.
