CYBERCRIME


RUSSIAN HACKER WITH $10 MILLION BOUNTY ON HIS HEAD REPORTEDLY ARRESTED

Russian authorities have reportedly arrested Mikhail Matveev, who is wanted by
the US for ransomware attacks against critical infrastructure.

Russian authorities have reportedly arrested Mikhail Pavlovich Matveev, a
32-year-old man from Russia who is wanted by the United States over his alleged
role in ransomware attacks.

Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti reported last week that local
prosecutors had announced charges against a man accused of creating a malicious
program, specifically one designed to encrypt the data of commercial
organizations. 

RIA Novosti learned from sources that the suspect is Mikhail Pavlovich Matveev
[Russian language article].

Matveev has been known online as Wazawaka, m1x, Boriselcin, and Uhodiransomwar.
Cybersecurity blogger Brian Krebs revealed that Wazawaka was Matveev in early
2022, which the man later confirmed to be accurate.

The FBI added him to its most wanted list in May 2023. The US Justice Department
at the time announced charges against Matveev over his alleged role in LockBit,
Hive and Babuk ransomware attacks. 

He is believed to have been involved in ransomware attacks aimed at thousands of
entities in the US and elsewhere, including critical infrastructure
organizations such as hospitals, airlines, and government organizations.  

Also in May 2023, the US Treasury Department announced sanctions against the
Russian national and the Department of State announced a bounty of up to $10
million for information leading to Matveev’s arrest.

It appears that the Russian government has started cracking down on local
cybercriminals. A Russian news agency reported last month that a court had
sentenced four members of the  REvil ransomware group to prison.
