Ryuk ransomware member sentenced to 24 months in prison
An Armenian man received a 24-month prison sentence and three years of supervised release for conducting Ryuk ransomware attacks against U.S. companies. The case concludes prosecution of an individual involved in encrypting victims' systems as part of the ransomware operation.
Why it matters: Organizations targeted by Ryuk should understand that law enforcement continues to pursue and prosecute ransomware operators, though prosecution timelines are lengthy and recovery is not guaranteed.
