Two agents of Russia’s FSB spy agency and two “criminal hackers” are indicted Wednesday over a massive cyberattack affecting 500 million Yahoo users, the US Justice Department announces.

The indictment unveiled in Washington links Russia’s top spy agency in one of the largest cyberattacks in history, revealed last year, and which officials said was used for espionage and financial gain.
