Rostislav Panev, a dual Russian-Israeli national, was arrested in Israel on US charges, marking a significant step against the infamous LockBit ransomware group.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco proclaimed a coordinated effort led to the arrest of three LockBit actors, showcasing the strength of international collaboration.
LockBit has infected over 2,500 victims globally, extorted around $500 million, and remains a significant concern despite recent law enforcement successes.
The disruption of LockBit, once the most damaging ransomware group, has greatly diminished its influence since its peak, though it still operates.
