"Ianis Aleksandrovich Antropenko exemplifies the profile of a modern cybercriminal, yet, unlike many others who have faced strict prosecution for similar offenses, the Justice Department has granted him liberties rarely extended to such suspects. The 36-year-old Russian national was arrested almost a year ago in California for his alleged involvement in multiple ransomware attacks from at least May 2018 to August 2022."
"Yet, he was released on bail the day of his arrest and continues to live with few restrictions in Southern California awaiting trial for multiple felonies. Antropenko is charged with conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse, computer fraud and abuse, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He is accused of using Zeppelin ransomware to attack multiple people, businesses and organizations globally, including victims based in the U.S."
