REvil ransomware gang arrested in Russia
Authorities in Russia say they have dismantled the ransomware crime group REvil and charged several of its members.
The United States had offered a reward of up to $10m (£7.3m) for information leading to the gang members, following ransomware attacks.
Russia’s intelligence bureau FSB said the group had “ceased to exist”.
The FSB said it had seized more than 426 million rubles (£4m), including about £440,000 worth of crypto-currency.
