Ransomware Ring Dismantled by US Authorities
Ransomware Ring Dismantled by US Authorities A major ransomware operation is crumbling! US authorities have tracked **1,610 BTC** in ransom payments to identify and charge global cybercriminals, including the alleged Ryuk mastermind, Karen Serobovich Vardanyan. Vardanyan was extradited from Ukraine and is now facing charges in the US. He and his co-conspirators are accused of using Ryuk ransomware to attack American companies between 2019 and 2020, extorting over $15 million in Bitcoin. The FBI's ability to trace the cryptocurrency was key in bringing these charges. Vardanyan has pleaded not guilty and awaits trial, while the search for other accomplices continues. This is a big win against cybercrim e!
