Russia Cyber Criminals Linked to Hacked Climate e-Mails
Geoff Earle writes on The New York Post:

The hacker who got the e-mails, in which top scientists discussed keeping data from global-warming skeptics, was working from the Siberian city of Tomsk at a private firm called Tomcity, Britain's Daily Mail reported.
"It's very common for hackers in Russia to be paid for their services," said Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Russia is a top energy producer and has resisted tough new international climate regulations.
