一名加拿大网络安全高管曾在多家企业担任高级职务，这些企业专门协助数据泄露受害方与网络犯罪分子协商赎金支付。如今，这名高管因一桩联邦黑客及数据勒索案件被起诉。
法庭文件显示，爱德华·杜布罗夫斯基近期还出版过一本介绍如何应对网络勒索的书籍，现在却被控合谋实施同类犯罪：威胁泄露窃取、入侵获得的数据，并通过勒索手段干扰跨州商业活动。指控杜布罗夫斯基的起诉书目前仍处于封存状态。
联邦记录显示，现年54岁的杜布罗夫斯基被捕后，于周四在费城联邦地区法院出庭。法庭记录显示，治安法官斯科特·里德下令将杜布罗夫斯基移送至案件起诉地得克萨斯州东区联邦法院。检方要求在审判前对其实施羁押。杜布罗夫斯基在得州案件的相关卷宗依旧封存。
目前尚不清楚对杜布罗夫斯基的指控，是否与联邦调查局高层周五上午披露的重大黑客系列案件相关。不过两起案件案发时间看起来相互吻合。
