Authorities say the group’s alleged ringleader, a 36-year-old resident of Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv, was arrested together with his wife and three alleged accomplices. Police did not name any of the suspects or the type of ransomware they allegedly wielded. At least one of the defendants is also wanted in another country – while not named – for allegedly using malware to steal bank details from British residents.”]
