Legal Policy Action UpdateU.S. federal prosecutors unsealed charges against three Russian nationals, alleging that Aleksandr Volosovik, Yulia Pankova, and Kirill Zatolokin ran Media Land and ML.Cloud as bulletproof hosting services that supported ransomware gangs with malware delivery, command-and-control, phishing, and illicit content hosting. The case says the infrastructure was used across multiple countries and caused over $62 million in damages to victims worldwide, and the U.S. Department of State separately offered up to $10 million for information on the actors and related malicious cyber activity.
