This is how dumb Russian spies are...
The guys who figured out who the Russian was that used the Novichok in UK. Once they sorted out who the Russian assassin was, they used stolen driver's license records to try to figure out his real name. They knew his alis but not his actual name.
So they figured some of his aliases was the same as his real name/address ect.
Turns out they were right he used his real birthday and birth city. Once they found his real name they then searched the drivers license database to find his address.
The dumb fuck used the Moscow FSB address on his ID for his real name. The idea was he'd only use his real ID in Russia so by using the FSB address Russian cops wouldn't fuck with him once he showed his ID.
So the Brits then searched their stolen Russian database for everyone using the FSB headquarters address and they found about 50 Russians with that address.
Basically, they ended up uncovering real ID's about 50 Russian spys because these dumbfucks used the FSB HQ address on their Russian driver licenses to avoid getting tickets...
This was on a interview on public radio the day before yesterday so no link.
