Raymond Odigie Uadiale, 41, sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to money laundering in connection with the Reveton ransomware. He was a Microsoft network engineer who was charged in April this year with money laundering. The Reveton malware is old ransomware, also known as scareware or police ransomware, that instead of encrypting files locks the screen of victims’ computers and displays a message purporting to come from a national law enforcement agency. The splash screen of the malware was designed to falsely tell victims that they have been caught doing illegal or malicious activities online or the law enforcement had found illegal material on their computer.
