On October 3, 2018, a federal grand jury in Pennsylvania indicted Russian national Alexey Valerevich Minin and six co-conspirators for hacking operations targeting anti-doping agencies and sporting organizations from 2014 through 2018, including breaches of USADA and WADA during the 2016 Olympics. Minin remains at large and is wanted for conspiracy to commit computer fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. His capture would help disrupt ongoing state-sponsored cyber operations against international sports integrity and anti-doping enforcement.
