Cyber Sleuths Nab Russian Hacker in Kyiv: A Blow to Conti and LockBit Ransomware Rings

Caught red-handed in Kyiv, a Russian ransomware wizard’s antivirus vanishing act ends in cuffs. This 28-year-old cyber illusionist made malware disappear from security radars, but couldn’t escape the long arm of the Ukraine cyber police. Now, he faces a spell behind bars that’s anything but…

Hot Take:

Looks like the cyber police in Ukraine just put a serious dent in the "work-from-home" plans of a particularly enterprising Russian malware maestro. In a world where antivirus evasion is the name of the game, this guy was apparently selling "invisibility cloaks" to the cyber baddies. But poof! His magic act got busted, and it turns out the only thing that's disappeared is his freedom.
