The UK's National Crime Agency has identified Aleksandr Ryzhenkov as a key figure in both the LockBit and Evil Corp cybercrime organizations, confirming suspicions of their link.
Gavin Webb, senior investigating officer on Operation Cronos, asserts that Ryzhenkov played a crucial role in extorting $100 million and attacking over 60 victims.
The NCA's ongoing efforts in Operation Cronos reveal a deep-rooted connection between LockBit and Evil Corp, challenging previous denials of collaboration by LockBit affiliates.
Ryzhenkov's involvement with the WastedLocker ransomware and longstanding ties to Evil Corp highlights the complexity of cybercrime networks and ongoing international investigations.
