In the photo Ilya Sachkov (Group-IB) and former British Ambassador Laurie Bristow. We remind you that Sachkov was arrested in the case of treason and is currently in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center. According to a VChK-OGPU source, the meeting between Sachkov and Mr. Bristow was organized by an employee of PwC, now closed in the Russian Federation, Joe Watt (Great Britain). Previously, Sachkov and the current Group-IB CEO Dmitry Volkov went to meet with the UK NCA English police in London. The guys handed over to them “Russian hackers,” most of whom were agents of the Russian special services. It is the UK NCA that is the layer between the British intelligence services (MI-5, MI-6) and the outside “near-police” world. UK NCA staff, led by Neil Basu, were actively involved in the Skripal case and also searched through cameras for GRU officers Boshirov and Petrov.

Alexander Gostev, an employee of Kaspersky Lab, wonders why all Russian companies were removed from the international consortium FIRST, while Sachkov’s company was not, for some reason, despite the company’s location in Moscow, as well as its CEO. We explain to Alexander – Chris Gibson, also a native of the UK and the Executive Director of FIRST, and previously an employee of GCHQ (analogous to the US NSA in the UK).

Sachkov’s case obviously resembles the case of Platon Obukhov, who was arrested for spying for Great Britain. The Obukhov case was handled by General Boris Miroshnikov, who at that time headed the DKRO of the FSB of the Russian Federation (Department of Counterintelligence Operations). Obviously, with such contacts, it would be a sin not to fall into the field of view of counterintelligence.

Earlier, the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation, Sergey Naryshkin, said that the SolarWinds hack was the work of the British intelligence services themselves, and not at all “Russian hackers” – which was immediately objected to by the former director of GCHQ NCSC Kyarin Martin. Sachkov figured in this case, writing a public extensive report on Alexander Turchinov (“fxmsp”), which later appeared in almost all Western publications, including the BBC. The biography of Turchinov himself raises big questions – for some time he was in Turkey, and later ended up on the territory of Kazakhstan.

At a meeting of representatives of the IT sector of the Russian Federation with Prime Minister Mikhal Mishustin, Sachkov called the special representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Andrei Krutskikh “toxic”, and Andrei Bezrukov (head of the Russian technology export association) – “a resident of the Foreign Intelligence Service, expelled from the United States.”

In some conversations, Sachkov menacingly called himself “an agent of the FSB and SVR” and promised problems to a number of people, but the problems overtook him. Played.
