Its always nice when we see arrests of different suspects in the cybercrime arena, and I hope that during NCSAM, we will see more.
Today, I want to highlight this article titled Police raid in Ukraine results in arrests of 2 alleged ransomware hackers which was written by Cyberscoop. Several countries are going to be talking this month, according to the article, and hopefully they’re going to over this and other things.
Europol was involved in this, and Trend Micro has been known to be involved in investigations where Europol helps pick up people.
The statement did not name the group the suspects allegedly worked for, said the scammers pulled off attacks against “very large industrial groups in Europe and North America from April 2020 onwards.” The group uses a double-extortion technique in which it locks up the victim’s servers and then threatens to leak sensitive data if the victim does not pay, according to authorities.
Authorities from Ukraine, France, the U.S., Interpol and Europol were involved in the most recent operation.
There’s plenty of other stuff and linked material here, so feel free to check this out.
I hope that you enjoy reading and make it a great day!
