    Might have been a different outcome if they'd ransomware'd his gigafactory.

    I'm sure he's got good backups though.

    The Russian who attempted to convince a Tesla employee to plant malware on Tesla systems has pleaded guilty.

    The employee contacted by the crooks is a Russian-speaking, non-US citizen working at Tesla-owned lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle subassembly factory Giga Nevada.

    The Russian man and his co-conspirators were planning to exfiltrate data from the network of the company and blackmail the organization to leak stolen data, unless the company paid a ransom demand.

    A few days after meeting the employee, Kriuchkov exposed his plan to the employee offering him between $500,000 and $1,000,000 for the dirty job. The malware would provide Kriuchkov and co-conspirators, the malicious code was specifically designed to steal information from Tesla.

    The employee decided to warn Tesla and the company reported the attempt to the FBI. The employee had more meetings with Kriuchkov that were surveilled by the FBI. On August 22, the FBI arrested Kriuchkov.

    So he has done a deal that will probably get him 10 months.

    I wonder how many beans have been spilled?
