KARACHI: Amid the cascade of US sanctions imposed Thursday on Russian cybersecurity companies and officials alleged to be operating on behalf of the Kremlin’s intelligence services, one company stood out: the Fresh Air Farm House in Karachi. He confirmed his identity and acknowledged being a digital counterfeiter, saying he used “simple Photoshop” to alter ID cards, bills, and other documents to order. The old website featured scores of customer reviews thanking Second Eye for providing bogus identity documents used to verify accounts — mostly with PayPal. Money earned from the fake ID business was poured into the construction of the Fresh Air Farm House, Raza said. Holt said that the sanctioning of the Farm House appeared to be a signal to the cyber-criminal milieu about steering clear of Russian actors.
