Ransomware gang arrested in Ukraine

 

Two prolific ransomware operators suspected of carrying out a string of attacks, demanding ransoms of up to EUR 70 million, have been arrested in Ukraine.

 

The arrests were made on 28 September as a result of global law enforcement cooperation involving the French National Gendarmerie, the Ukrainian National Police and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), INTERPOL and Europol.

 

The coordinated strike also resulted in:

 

7 property searches

Seizure of USD 375,000 in cash

Seizure of two luxury vehicles worth EUR 217,000

Asset freezing of USD 1.3 million in cryptocurrencies

 

The organized crime group is suspected of having committed a string of targeted attacks against very large industrial groups in Europe and North America from April 2020 onwards. The criminals would deploy malware and steal sensitive data from these companies, before encrypting their files.

 

They would then proceed to offer a decryption key in return for a ransom payment of several millions of euros, threatening to leak the stolen data on the Darknet if their demands were not met.

 

Close cooperation between the participating law enforcement authorities led to the identification in Ukraine of these two individuals.
