thewayneA "gang" who claims to be an international syndicate but is more likely a small group, paid for a couple of criminals to lob Molotov cocktails at a company who discovered a Trojan that the gang developed to compromise ATMs. They sent threats to the security researchers, giving them a deadline to remove the research from their web site, and when they didn't, some punk ran up to a building and threw a single firebomb, then ran away. The damage was minimal.
This was all going on in Kiev, St. Petersburg, and Ukraine.
