Russian law enforcement has arrested Mikhail Matveev, a notorious ransomware affiliate, for developing malware and his ties to various hacking groups.
Matveev claimed that sanctions improved his life, offering him security against deportation while demonstrating a dismissive attitude toward the American government.
The arrest of Matveev raises questions about the current Russian government's stance on cybercrime and its willingness to prosecute its own alleged hackers.
Despite feeling secure from law enforcement, the time of reckoning appears to be uncertain for Russian cybercriminals, as some are now facing serious repercussions.
