The ransomware group waged an attack on the NHS in 2017.
The cybercriminal group distributes ransomware through emails containing documents with malicious code, granting them access to a target’s systems once downloaded. It then threatens to leak sensitive company data unless it receives payment. Europol estimates that victims of the cybercrime group’s attacks in the US paid at least €40 million between May 2019 and March 2021, while German authorities counted 601 victims in total.
Meanwhile, three Russian individuals with ties to the group are still wanted by international authorities. Both Germany and Ukraine are currently analyzing the seized evidence to locate other group members and determine their roles. “Perpetrators can be sure that the fight against this crime does not stop at the borders, but takes place across borders,” Ingo Wünsch, the director of Germany’s State Criminal Police Office, says in a machine-translated statement. “Companies, institutions and authorities have to protect their digital world.”
