Event Details

Polish Police arrested a Polish national, known online as “Armaged0n”, who is suspected of having encrypted several thousands of computers and having committed a series of online attacks on various Polish companies between 2013 and 2018.
The suspect infected computer systems by spreading ransomware via email pretending to impersonate official correspondence from well-known companies, such as telecommunication providers, retailers, banks, etc. Once installed upon a victim’s computer, the ransomware encrypted the files on the infected system, offering a decryption key in return for a ransom payment of USD 200 – 400.
