Ryuk operator pleads guilty; Blackcat/AlphV conspirator gets nearly 6-year sentence
A Ryuk ransomware operator pleaded guilty to conspiracy and computer fraud in Oregon federal court, while a separate defendant received a 70-month federal prison sentence in Florida for assisting the Blackcat/AlphV ransomware gang in extortion campaigns against multiple victims.
Why it matters: Practitioners should track these cases as examples of law enforcement action against major ransomware operations; organizations hit by Ryuk or Blackcat/AlphV may benefit from following the judicial outcomes and evidence disclosed.
