On 28 September 2021, a coordinated strike between the French National Gendarmerie (#Gendarmerie Nationale), the Ukrainian National Police (Національна поліція України) and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (#FBI), with the coordination of #Europol and #INTERPOL, has led to the arrest in #Ukraine of two prolific #ransomware operators known for their extortionate ransom demands.

The organised crime group is suspected of having committed a string of targeted attacks against very large industrial groups in #Europe and North America from April 2020 onwards.
