A US district court judge says it is unclear whether the pair were aware of the lawsuit

Alphabet’s Google failed to persuade a judge to issue a default judgment against two Russians accused of operating a botnet that allegedly hacked into more than 1-million computers and devices worldwide.

Google told the judge it sent the Russians letters, emails and texts notifying them of the lawsuit. Google said the lawsuit was also reported by BBC Russia and Novaya Gazeta. But the men claim they didn’t find out about the lawsuit until January and it took some time to translate the complaint and find a Russian-speaking attorney in the US to represent them.

Google sued the men along with 15 unnamed defendants in a federal court in Manhattan in December. It claimed they had created the Glubteba botnet, which it described as a “technological and borderless incarnation of organised crime”. The men had asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit, saying the case didn’t belong in New York because it didn’t involve anyone in the state.
