US Sanctions Russian Hackers: The Cyber Clowns Strike Again!
Yuliya Pankratova and Denis Degtyarenko from the CARR hacktivist crew have been added to the US sanctions list for allegedly targeting critical infrastructure. Despite their “low-impact, unsophisticated DDoS attacks,” the US government isn’t clowning around with these cybercriminals.
Hot Take:
Looks like the Cyber Army of Russia Reborn (CARR) just got a one-way ticket to the US sanctions list! Who knew “low-impact, unsophisticated DDoS attacks” could still make waves? Better watch out, hackers – Big Brother is always watching, and he’s not amused!
Key Points:
- The US has sanctioned two members of the Cyber Army of Russia Reborn (CARR) for attacks on critical infrastructure.
- CARR has been linked to various attacks on US and European water facilities and energy systems.
- Despite their lack of technical sophistication, CARR managed to control industrial systems, causing significant disruptions.
- Sanctioned members Yuliya Vladimirovna Pankratova and Denis Olegovich Degtyarenko are unlikely to be arrested as Russia won’t give them up.
- Other Russian cybercriminals have been arrested outside of Russia, showing that international law enforcement is always on the hunt.
