GandCrab affiliate arrested in South Korea

Event Details

South Korean national police have announced today the arrest of a 20-year-old suspect on charges of distributing and infecting victims with the GandCrab ransomware. Police say the suspect operated by taking copies of the GandCrab ransomware and distributing them via email to victims across South Korea.
Between February and June 2019, the suspect sent nearly 6,500 emails to South Koreans.
South Korean national police said the recent arrest, which took place last month on February 25, was the result of an international investigation led by Interpol focused on tracking down the GandCrab gang and its network of distributors. Law enforcement agencies from ten countries are involved in the investigation.
