Europol and its international law enforcement partners have arrested five individuals who authorities accuse of involvement in a string of ransomware attacks affecting more than 1,800 victims worldwide.
The arrested individuals, which include the criminal gang's ringleader, 32, and four of his "most active" accomplices, were arrested following a series of raids at 30 properties across Ukraine last week, Europol said in a statement on Tuesday.
The five individuals arrested last week stand accused of encrypting over 250 servers belonging to large corporations, and successfully extorting "several hundred million euros" from its victims.
