Europol has announced the arrest of two men in Ukraine, said to be members of a prolific ransomware operation that extorted victims with ransom demands ranging between 5 to 70 million. The law enforcement agencies attribute approximately a hundred cyberattacks to the gang, starting in April 2020, that targeted North American and European entities. The total damages caused to the victimized organizations are $150 million. Successful law enforcement operations tend to have chilling effects on the operation of illegal hacking groups as they spread fear and uncertainty among the other members.”]
