Spanish Police arrested the alleged leader of an organised Russian cybercrime gang behind the Carbanak and Cobalt malware attacks. The group stole over a billion euros from banks worldwide since 2013. Cobalt was developed a sophisticated heist-ready banking malware known as Cobalt, based on the Cobalt Strike penetration testing software, which was in use until 2016. Ukraine Police arrested another member of the group in Kiev, for developing malware and selling personal data from citizens worldwide. The criminal profits were also laundered via cryptocurrencies, through prepaid cards linked to the cryptocurrency wallets.
