    FSB video of the alleged raid (which is entertaining but not that enlightening): https://twitter.com/...

    In an unprecedented move that's likely to send ripples through the inner circles of other Russia-based cybercriminal gangs, the country's security agency has arrested 14 alleged members of REvil. https://www.wired.com/...

    Russia's arrests of several members of the notorious REvil ransomware gang at request of US law enforcement mark a rare example of cooperation at a time when tensions are high over a mass buildup of Russian troops near Ukraine. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

    Suspected members of the #REvil #ransomware gang have been detained and the group has been dismantled following raids by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). via @ZDNet https://www.zdnet.com/...

    Over a dozen alleged members of the notorious ransomware group have been arrested, but the Kremlin's critics are wary of the underlying motivation. https://www.wired.com/...

    Breaking: A senior U.S. official confirms that Russia has arrested alleged members of the REvil ransomware gang, including an individual responsible for the cyberattack that crippled the Colonial Pipeline. https://www.axios.com/...

    The move is welcome, but analysts said it seems aimed to send a signal that such cooperation would cease if the United States and Western allies impose sanctions in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. https://www.stripes.com/...

    “The big question, I suppose, is does this represent a real shift in Russia's intentions to deal with this problem, or has REvil simply been sacrificed in an attempt to alleviate some international pressure?” @BrettCallow https://www.wired.com/...

    A second REvil member was also identified by TASS. His name is Andrei Bessonov. (h/t @EErchov) https://tass.ru/...

    The Russian government says it has dismantled and detained criminal ransomware group REvil, which extorted Apple and launched high-profile ransomware campaigns, at the request of the United States. https://appleinsider.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    This individual was involved in the Colonial Pipeline incident, a U.S. official tells me. Although Colonial was claimed by DarkSide, it is quite possible that the hacker shown worked for both REvil and DarkSide, @uuallan says. https://twitter.com/...

    NEW: Russia's FSB says it has arrested 14 alleged members of the “REvil” ransomware gang in response to a US government request. REvil is the gang behind the hacks on Colonial Pipeline, JBS, and Kaseya. https://www.vice.com/...
  • @jamiemaccoll Jamie MacColl on x
    The FSB has arrested 14 members of the REvil ransomware group. This is going to test a lot of assumptions about how the Russian state deals with cybercriminals within its borders. https://therecord.media/...

    Russia's FSB says it has arrested members of the REvil ransomware gang (best known for the JBS and Kaseya hacks) and shut down the group's infrastructure: https://www.fsb.ru/... But Russia reportedly won't turn over the Russians among them to the U.S.: https://www.reuters.com/...
  • @malwarejake Jake Williams on x
    Anyone thinking this isn't significant because Russian citizens won't be handed over to US authorities is missing a bigger picture: diplomatic pressure is working. This operation would have been unthinkable a year ago. https://twitter.com/...
