The U.S. Department of Justice indicted 16 Russian nationals linked to the DanaBot malware operation, which infected over 300,000 machines worldwide. This operation serves as a clear example of how cybercrime can overlap with state-sponsored activities and espionage. The indictment claims that DanaBot was involved in various hacking endeavors ranging from ransom-seeking attacks to espionage against military and government targets. The operation is said to have inflicted significant financial damage, raising concerns about the extensive impact of such invasive malware on global cybersecurity.
"Pervasive malware like DanaBot harms hundreds of thousands of victims around the world, including sensitive military, diplomatic, and government entities, and causes many millions of dollars in losses."
