Police arrests ransomware affiliate behind high-profile attacks

The 41-year-old Romanian national was arrested Monday morning at his home in Craiova, Romania, by the DIICOT (the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism) and judicial police officers. The suspect, through various methods, managed to gain access to the computer networks of some companies (medium and large) in Romania, but also in other states, from where he extracted large volumes of data. He would then ask for a sizeable ransom payment in cryptocurrency, threatening to leak the stolen data on cybercrime forums.”]
