Yes, but... if you're in Russia, my understanding is that you really don't have too much to worry about, so long as you only go after targets outside of Russia.

And as long as you're happy with never going outside Russia yourself - I seem to recall a situation some years ago where one culprit was offered a good tech job in the west, and was arrested when arriving at the airport for some scam they did many years ago.
