FBI seized 39.89138522 bitcoins worth approximately $2.3 million at current prices ($1.5 million at time of seizure) from an Exodus wallet on August 3rd, 2021.
The (seized) wallet contained REvil ransom payments belonging to an affiliate identified as “Aleksandr Sikerin, a/k/a Alexander Sikerin, a/k/a Oleksandr Sikerin” with an email address of ‘en********@***il.com.’
While the FBI does not indicate the online alias of the threat actor, the name ‘engfog’ in the email address is tied to a well-known GandCrab and REvil/Sodinokibi affiliate known as ‘Lalartu.’
