We’re learning more on whose behind Trickbot, Conti, Ryuk and others

This is becoming very interesting how we are now learning about some of the people who have been involved in some of the worst attacks we’ve seen.

Some of the names within this group of names of gangs are familiar while others are not.

When you read those names, which ones came to mind that sounded familiar to you?

Of course, we must mention that this is part of the operation end game project which continues to work and work well, exposing those who have been involved at least, and hopefully to some arrests if they have not been already.

In the following paragraph taken from the article, tell me if some of these names are familiar to you.

“The subject is suspected of having been the founder of the ‘Trickbot’ group, also known as ‘Wizard Spider,'” BKA said last week [English PDF], after another round of seizures and charges part of Operation Endgame, a joint global law enforcement action targeting malware infrastructure and the threat actors behind it.

“The group used the Trickbot malware as well as other malware variants such as Bazarloader, SystemBC, IcedID, Ryuk, Conti and Diavol.”

Also,

However, this isn’t the first time law enforcement has targeted Kovalev for his involvement in a cybercriminal organization. In February 2023, he was one of seven Russians sanctioned and charged in the United States for their links to the TrickBot and Conti cybercrime gangs.

I know TrickBot, IcedId, Conti, Ryuk and Lizard Spider.

Are these the ones you’re thinking of or are there others?

Sound off.

Germany doxxes Conti ransomware and TrickBot ring leader is the article. Have fun with this one.
