The State Department is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information linking the CL0p ransomware gang that is targeting U.S. networks for a foreign government.
The U.S. government is hunting for the identities behind the cybercriminal gang whose recent victims include the Energy Department and state government networks.
“Do you have info linking CL0P Ransomware Gang or any other malicious cyber actors targeting U.S. critical infrastructure to a foreign government? Send us a tip,” the Rewards for Justice account tweeted. “You could be eligible for a reward.” “This assessment is based on FIN11’s avoidance of systems utilizing CIS-country keyboard layouts and the use of Russian-language file metadata,” the analyst note said in 2021. “Researchers believe that FIN11 outsources many of their services via underground, criminal communities.”
