Feds offer $10m reward for info on alleged Russian ransomware crim
This prohibits US residents and organizations from doing business with Matveez or any other so-called"blocked persons" — and it also means that paying ransom demands to listed individuals or organizations could count as breaking US laws [Matveez and other members of the LockBit, Babuk, and Hive ransomware gangs have attacked at least 2,800 victims globally, and demanded payments of around $400 million, according to court documents.
Meanwhile, between December 2020 and September 2021, Matveev and his co-conspirators allegedly used Babuk ransomware to extort money from victims in Turin, Italy; Hillsborough County, New Hampshire; Washington County, Oregon, and DC's Metropolitan Police Department. "As part of the ransomware attack, the MPD was threatened with disclosure of sensitive information unless payment was made," according to the second indictment ["Data theft and extortion attempts by ransomware groups are corrosive, cynical attacks on key institutions and the good people behind them as they go about their business and serve the public," US Attorney Matthew M. Graves for the District of Columbia said in a statement.
"Whether these criminals target law enforcement, other government agencies, or private companies like health care providers, we will use every tool at our disposal to prosecute and punish such offenses," Graves added.
