Cyber police have arrested a man in Phuket, who it is now reported to be Russian GRU military intelligence officer Aleksey Lukashev, a suspect in several major global hacking campaigns. The 35-year-old foreign national was detained earlier this week following an operation involving Thailand’s Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) and the FBI. He has been charged under Thailand’s Extradition Act and is now awaiting extradition proceedings to the United States.

Authorities confirmed the arrest on 12 November after tracking the suspect from his arrival in Phuket on 30 October. Intelligence from the FBI enabled officers to locate him at a hotel in Thalang district. Phuket Immigration investigators monitored his movements before securing a Criminal Court search warrant for the raid.

Officers seized laptops, mobile phones and digital wallets from the hotel room, with FBI personnel observing the operation. The CCIB reported that the devices have been sent for forensic examination as part of the wider cybercrime investigation.
