Russian authorities arrest three SugarLocker affiliates
Event Details
Russian authorities have identified and arrested three alleged members of a local ransomware gang called SugarLocker.
The group operates under the guise of a legitimate tech company called Shtazi-IT, offering services for the development of landing pages, mobile apps, and online stores.
Another security expert, who asked not to be identified due to security concerns, also suggested that this arrest could be a PR attempt by Russia. The suspects identified might not be under the strict operational control of the government and would likely continue their operations, they said.
