Estonian authorities announced this week that they had recently arrested a Russian man, suspected of being an agent of the Federal Security Service (FSB) who was allegedly preparing “computer-related crime.”
The 20-year-old man, whose identity was not made public, was arrested last weekend in the city of Narva, on Estonia’s eastern border, as he was trying to return to Russia.
On Thursday, Patrik Maldre, an Estonian analyst at FireEye, gave a brief translation of an account of the man’s arrest in the Estonian newspaper, Postimees.
