DailyMail.com tracked suspected super-hacker Yevgeniy Polyanin, 28, to a chic $380,000 (USD) home in Barnaul where he was seen driving his $74,000 Toyota Land Cruiser 200, evidently feeling untouchable.

His wife Sofia, 28, openly runs an upscale social media baking business - including racy hen party cupcakes decorated with male genitalia - while he is accused by the US authorities of extorting millions of dollars from American businesses.

Polyanin was this month accused by the FBI of 'involvement in ransomware attacks and money laundering activities.'

He is alleged to be an affiliate of the REvil/Sodinokibi gang and the FBI claim to have seized from him $6.1 million in ill-gotten funds, while a reward of up to $5 million was offered for information leading to his arrest.
