The Justice Department is committed to leveraging the full range of our international partnerships to combat the threats posed by ransomware like Phobos, as noted by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
Ptitsyn and his co-conspirators ran the Phobos ransomware group, whose members committed ransomware attacks against more than 1,000 public and private victims throughout the United States and the rest of the world.
The indictment alleged that the group hacked not only large corporations but also schools, hospitals, nonprofits, and a federally recognized tribe, extorting over $16 million in ransom.
