Also in 2000, the FBI lured two suspected Russian [[cybercriminal]]s to the US in an elaborate ruse, and captured their usernames and passwords with a keylogger that was covertly installed on a machine that they used to access their computers in [[Russia]]. The FBI then used these credentials to gain access to the suspects' computers in Russia to obtain evidence to prosecute them.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/08/16/russians_accuse_fbi_agent/|title=Russians accuse FBI Agent of Hacking|website=The Register|date=2002-08-16|author=John Leyden}}</ref>
