A UK man involved in the distribution of the Reveton ransomware was sentenced to six years in prison today in a London court. UK authorities first arrested Qaiser in July 2014, but they had to let him go due to a lack of evidence.
Qaiser, operated by buying ads on adult websites, inserting malicious code in the ads, and redirecting victims to malicious sites.
Money would land in a MoneyPak account managed by Qaiser, who would then work with an US co-conspirator to deposit the vocheur payments into the co-conspirator’s debit card.
