Russian cyber crooks hanging around the darkweb are the most advanced fraudsters on the planet. And, worryingly for the rest of the world, they are some of the most patriotic too.

That’s what TechWeekEurope heard during a trip to RSA’s Anti-Fraud Command Center (pictured) in Tel Aviv, Israel, where sleuths, who spend their days interacting with cyber crooks on the darkweb to learn about the latest trends amongst Russia’s Internet thieves, told one particularly Godfather-esque story.

On a certain underground forum, when someone upset the Russians, they sent the offending party a coffin with his initials inscribed on it. And some flowers, just for added creepiness. Can they find addresses of people on these dark markets though?
