Aber's body was found on 22 March 2025 in her own home, she was 43 years old. The cause of death is currently under investigation. Preliminarily, it was due to a chronic illness, as there were no signs of violence on the body.

Evidence suggests that the company's executives illegally supplied equipment to Russia in an attempt to circumvent international sanctions.
It also investigated Russians Timur Shakhmatov and Sergey Ivanov. They were suspected of being involved in one of the largest money laundering operations that financed cybercrime.
Aber participated in the prosecution of four Russian military officers who committed war crimes against Ukraine.
