That night, everyone was in the Apple family home. Seth Alex had opted to run the setup in English, so the Rainbooms and CMC would know what to do if any of them were unfortunate to have to get anyone else out of a situation like Sofia's.
"Darling, I know you chose English, but it's not very good."
"Rarity, right? Rarity I wrote this when I was twelve. I had only been speaking English for about four years. Looking back, the only reason English is on here is so I could force myself to understand it when I was trying to get back to Minsk. Never thought I'd be busting Sophie away from the militiamen, let alone here in America."
"Ah guess 'at'd explain 'Last' 'n 'After'. Also, it's 'police'."
"In America, you have the police. In Soviet Union, we have militiamen. That's how it is."
"Ah see."
About an hour (and enough bad English to go from hell to Houston to CHS to Equestria to Tartarus to Moscow to Minsk to CHS and back to hell) later, the laptop was ready.
"I need a wireless password for AppleHomeWiFi."
"Ah got it," Applejack said before looking confused at the absolute mess of a... whatever FUL was supposed to boot into.
"O, dajcie mnie zrabić heta," Alex said, muddling his way to the WiFi menu, "Heta pavinna być ciažka aryjentavacca, u liubym vypadku."
"Do Ah wanna know what you just said, or should Ah just leave that stone unturned?"
"Just stating the obvious. Password."
"SweetApple1923."
"And... in! She would probably be here in Delaware, so... searching... here it is," he opened the file they had for her, "Piaćdziesiat blia-hadoŭ!?"
Fluttershy almost passed out.
"Not if I can help it."
He changed a few things where her "sentence" would only be a month long.
"So," Rainbow Dash said after he finished and forced the laptop off, "Are we even?"
"Dy. I'm willing to let bygones be, but you may have to kiss up to Sophie for a while."
"Oh, of course, whatever she likes, Darling!"
"We need to burn this laptop," he said, taking a book of matches and the computer outside, then setting it ablaze.
Sunset, meanwhile, looked at the paper that fell from his pocket earlier.
Ooh Alex poor guy.......
Shine! Get your setup ready! We need to fix something and tell Passion we got another one!

I don't think they can track something that's been masked a few hundred times that doesn't even exist (non-charred, anyway) anymore.

Shine seems to have taken a liking to Sofia's situation and her case. She monitors that shit A LOT.
Also how do we know Alex did sell his security software to the highest bidder? A.k.a some form of terrorism group

Imagine what would happen if it was found he sold security to groups that use it to launch missiles at Army bases for large population cities? Hell the Iraq war? How do we know Alex didn't supply them with the technology necessary?

He put it online for download, like what Google does with chrome. The donation is optional, but he usually gets substantial amounts from them.

And it's not specifically security software, something more along the lines of a Fedora spin-off aimed at regular users, ie your Average Joe who buys a laptop from Walmart then replaces Windows 10 with something else.
Fedora OS Wikipedia.
I was more hoping Alex would break the hacker's laptop with his hacking rather than burn the laptop... literally.

Alex/Seth is the hacker. He wouldn't need to hack himself then burn his own computer. I think this is where Seth effortlessly hacks the State of Delaware and gets Sophia out of jail free.
Why are Sophia's victims expected to kiss up to her?
The authorities will just correct Sophia's sentence, by the way. The court she made her deal with will have paper records.
Why did they even bother coming back to the USA ? There's nothing the Canterlot authorities could do to Sophia and Seth in Minsk.
