MANHATTAN (CN) A law firm and a man accused of being a former Soviet spy hacked into a mining companys computers to get an upper hand in overseas litigation, the company claims.
International Mineral Resources, or IMR, claims business rival and fertilizer maker EuroChem Volga-Kaliy hired New York City law firm Salisbury & Ryan to dig up information on a business rival when a mining deal went bad.
The law firm then hired alleged former Soviet military counterintelligence officer Renit Akhmetshin to conduct an illegal hacking campaign, according to a lawsuit filed by the mining company on Nov. 12 in New York County Supreme Court.
The lawsuit does not list any direct documentation of Salisbury & Ryan or EuroChem asking the alleged former spy to hack IMR, but it claims that the law firm reached out to Akhmetshin specifically because they understood that Akhmetshin could gain access to private sources of information.

Let's stop using the word 'COLLUSION'. It's "conspiracy", "coordination", "espionage."
