Canadian accused in Yahoo hack has bail hearing
HAMILTON, Ontario (AP) — The lawyer for a Canadian man accused in a massive hack of Yahoo emails said Wednesday he has taken steps to ensure his client won't flee if he's released on bail.
Officials allege that Karim Baratov poses an "extremely high flight risk" because of his alleged ties to Russian agents.
U.S. law enforcement officials call Baratov a "hacker-for-hire" paid by Russian Federal Security Service members.
