Ukraine Police Bust Ransomware Suspects Tied to 50 Attacks

Police in Ukraine have arrested five individuals on suspicion of using ransomware to extort more than 50 companies across the U.S. and Europe. 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. The arrests represent at least the seventh major cybercrime crackdown effort undertaken by Ukrainian authorities since the start of 2021.”]
